Default Proper Deer Hyde Storage

What is the proper way to store a deer hyde. I put in a bag, sucked out the air and put it into the freezer.... Is that good, and how long can I leave it there.

It will be fine the way you have it. I don't want to put a time frame on it, but if it's sealed well, it'll last quite a while. I've kept them for a couple years with no problem.

Depending on the freezer(frost free burns them quicker). And if you hopefully got the head and ears stuck into the neck(assuming green hide) you should be ok for a while. I would not push it longer than I had to. And though I've used them a year or two old, maybe older, its always better to get to it sooner.
