thats one thing i always try to be somewhat careful of...if i do gotta touch em bloody, i try to do it out on the beams where its smooth..(usually drag em that way...) i try to avoid blood at the bases where its rough...

then when i get it hung and spray it off, i can take a wet paper towel and it wipes off, dry or not...

dont know how to get a serious staind antler clean....gotta be a way though...taxis probably have to deal with that frequently by the time some guys are done showing off their trophy
