Yep, depends on where they are from and what color you want. I use antler stain from Van Dykes Taxidermy and mix it with dirt, paint it on let it sit for a while, hose it off, let dry and spray on a matte finish clear coat. For elk I add a little red oak wood stain to the mix. I re-color almost all of my antlers because I strip all of the dirt, bark and junk off and take it down to bare bone. I like em clean looking.
