Spent the last little while searching can not find my answer.
I have tanned a wolf in lutan f oiled and at the moment it is still quit wet,does it need to be semi dried wet or just damp before I freeze it as I don't want to find out after the fact that I froze it with to much moister in the fur and it some how spoils or slips.Also how long can it stay in the freezer in this state? Thanks.

wrap well and it should last for years
What I do: out of the lutan, quick rinse in fresh water, spin out the excess water, oil, bag, then let it sit at room temp for a day, freeze or mount.
I want the oil to penetrate after tanning and freezing immediately after oiling would sloooooow down that process.
A tanned and oiled hide placed in a sealed bag will keep indefinitely in a freezer. Pull out thaw at room temp, wash in dawn or a good 5 - 7 pH shampoo, my preference, oily formula Pert plus, spin and mount.
Hope this helps
