I think freezing them green is better if you can. Just roll them tightly from nose to tail and double bag them in gallon zip locks or bigger if needed.

Fur needs to be stretched and dried for long term storage to prevent freezer burn.

If you are going to keep your fur for more than a few months, yes - flesh, stretch, dry, and freeze. It will keep for years that way as long as it is always kept in the freezer. I would not advise trappers to try to keep green fur more than a year in a freezer.
