Pictures would help, there are a lot of ways you can restore old sheds yourself. There have been some decent pictorials on here showing you how. Are you just wanting to get them mounted on a skull plate and then on a plaque? If so really easy to do it yourself.

If you need any info or help just ask...

fairweather:
 How much it would cost would depend on the amount of work that is required. I've spent as few as 2-3 hours staining a set of antlers to as many as 15-20 hours on  huge o elk sheds. This particular bull had a significant amount of chewing marks on the left main beam and about 50% of the brow tines were completely chewed off. Why don't you post up a few pictures and I'll bet you'll receive some feedback on approximate costs.

Good Luck

They are from a white tail. I shot a 170 class white tail in North Dakota last year. My uncle just called and he said he found its last years sheds. I thought it would be cool to get them shoulder mounted and we could have the same buck.

THey are about the easiest to restore, usually because they take less coloring and they stay hard longer than other bones.   If there isn't much chewing done on them, then it would be a fairly easy task.

I figured they were whitetail antlers.
