Congrats. Better go see a taxidermist because the velvet will start to smell and needs to be treated.

Try this for your velvet antlers. Clean the skullcap very well and simply put the rack in the freezer uncovered and unwrapped. It will freeze dry over time. I did it with a small velevt muley rack and its still fine 12+ years later!
