Bill , I appreciate it and I wish I would have thought about this forum earlier !

I am not sure if the damage has been done (probably has) ! I killed the deer last Thursday evening . I put the antlers in a bucket friday afternoon and took them out Sunday morning . I put them out in some sunlight to dry them out and put them in the garage ! I read your post this morning and stuck them in the freezer . I rubbed/pushed on them pretty hard before sticking them in the freezer and right now the velvet still feels like when I killed him and doesn't appear to be loose at all right now !! I guess I'm hoping to have gotten lucky but that probably will be unlikely knowing my luck ![&o]

I appreciate the help and will remember it in the future !
BTW.....this was a so called taxidermist that told me what to do !![>:]

Seems like the taxidermist that did my mule deer in velvet ......injected it with fermaldihyde (sp) ?? !!
