Hello,
This is Kenneth Cordray writing to ya’ll about antlers in velvet. Over the past few weeks I have had many questions about how to treat that early season buck that you want to save. I can do a shoulder mount, an antler mount, or just preserve them for you to nail up on the barn!
Velvet is a living part of the deer, just like the meat. And antlers in velvet are one of the fastest growing living tissues in nature. So to keep the velvet on that special buck in good condition, there are a few things that need to be done.
-Treat velvet like meat. Get the antlers cooled quickly.
- Be sure you don’t soak them in water. They’ll begin growing bacteria and ruin.
- Be gentle with velvet covered antlers. Try not to bump or drag them on the ground.
-Get those antlers to me quickly so that they can be treated.
I have all the necessary chemicals to treat your velvet antlers to ensure they last. We only see velvet covered deer for about 2 weeks into the season. So get out there and get you one!
Kenneth
