Default Question about freezing a deer head

So I have a deer head I plan to get mounted. The issue I have though, is I've not found a taxidermist that I trust, so while doing research I wanted to put it in the freezer. We have an upright freezer so initially I thought it wouldn't be a problem. I then discovered the shelves have pipes going to them to keep them defrosted so you can't remove them. I unhooked one and got it out of the way enough on side to get the antlers in, but on the other side I couldn't get it up very high so it's kind of like the rest of the deer skin is folded up to make it fit in there. Is this fine? I ideally would like it hanging, or draped out across something, but since it can't be is it okay if the neck skin and stuff from the head down is folded up and basically just pushed together in the freezer? Thanks.
