Two ways to do this remove antlers, clean skull, freeze dry antlers, reattach or strip velvet, clean, and have them artificially re- velveted. I myself like the artificial velvet look. This is a picture of the artificial velvet. Keep in mind that both processes are a lot of work and will cost a lot more to do professionally.
Sirmissalot your right if you are holding them in your hands they do look artificial but when they are high up on the wall I would bet my pay check that 9 out of 10 guys could not tell you the difference between fake and real.
