I have a bunch of pelts that Valerie's (Valerie is my wife) great uncle actually trapped back in the 1920's (badger & coyote). They are still in fine shape. The entire time they have been stored in a cedar chest with a few mothballs thrown in every 2 years or so. All the posts about freezing and then storing along with mothballs are right on and effective. The only pest problems I've ever had was when storing some stuff up in my office during a move, and the building suffered an invasion of mice - they'll chew through anything and get in anywhere!
