I've got a couple like that, dried the velvet on one and it stunk so bad I put it in the rafters of the shop for 6 months. The other I stripped and then rubbed mud all over it and wiped it off and it looks pretty nice, you would have never known that the buck didn't do it. Little tip I got off of watching Eastmans when they where caribou hunting.

Once again nice animal...

Post by: Pathfinder101 on January 28, 2009, 05:36:18 PM: Teacherman, that is smokin' advice. I shot a mulie in 2005 that still had a buch of velvet hanging off it. I rubbed blood all over it (since I know that is what generally gives them most of the color when they rub naturally), but most of it must have soaked in, because I have the deer mounted in my trophy room and the antlers still look pretty white. If I am ever in that situation again, I will try the mud thing. By the way, those shiny white antlers, with the sun glinting off them really faked me out (also, I was looking at a profile of him and couldn't see the spread). I thought I shot a big mulie, LOTS of ground-shrinkage on that guy...

Post by: big rack attack on February 06, 2009, 07:29:09 PM: yep in Washington ! idont have to worry about the velvet i hope, because i took it to my taxadermist. he was going to inject the velvet with something and it should like it did when i shot it. that is the biggest buck i shot so i want him on my wall just liked he looked the day he died. by the way i hit him right in the spine with a thunder head and he did not go anywhere i got pretty lucky !
