Default RE: How do you PRESERVE Velvet Antlers?

Canuck_2 made a very good point that should not be overlooked. The antlers right now are not nearly complete growing and are mostly soft tissue. There are many ways of preserving velvet antlers, but the only one that "might" work this time of year would be having them freeze dried by a professional. Forget the denatured alcohol and injection right now. A professional could tell you wether it would be worth the time and money this time of year. Before doing anything, I would suggest you find out if it's even legal to possess antlers from a road kill deer. In many states it is not.
