Preserving velvet on deer antlers

[duramax588]

Can anyone please tell me the proper way to preserve velvet on deer antlers?

Thanks,
Chris

Either freeze dry it or velvet tan. I have a set of muley antlers that i set out in the sun on hot days and they dried out and the velvet is good since 2006. For a shoulder mount i would have the taxi do it the correct way.
