two ways of drying pelts


Explanation:
Not sure how exact the language of your text is.
I wonder whether the terms used apply to the same stage pf processing i.e. drying, or whether they are talking about freezing whole animals for later drying in alternative to immediate skinning, defleshing and drying.

see

There are two ways to dry pelts -- on wire frames, or on "stretcher boards."
