Title: Antler cleaning.
Post by: Nice Racks on January 16, 2015, 07:45:22 PM: I am finally cleaning up a set of elk antlers from this past season. I know its about time. He was really muddy including the antlers. I'm using soap and water but it doesn't seem to be working very well. Any suggestions?
