I think it might push some of the animals that hang on private ground out. I would also think it would change up some of the travel corridors and bedding grounds. I think if you can get out this weekend and hunt next to the flooded areas then you might get a chance at animals you other wise...
These are the measurements I take. Eye to nose,nose to right antler burr,nose to right antler tip. I take the neck measurement after it comes back from the tannery.
Only salt after the fat and meat have been removed and eyes,ears,lips and nose have been turned and split. Salt will not penetrate fat. Eyes and nose can be turned at the tannery after they rehydrate. The ears should be turned at the very least with the fat and meat removal before the salt.
I have not tried stop rot as a salt replacement. It is truly a marvelous product. I would try it on a small skin and see how the finished product looked and felt. If you are doing your own tanning watch the p.h. and see if it affects that. The draw back might be it will add weight to the skin...

You can try soaking in water (horn submersion) for a hour then bag in a trash bag. Let it sit for a couple of days and knock them off with a rubber mallet. May take longer to rot off if the cores are really dry. In the future do the horn rotting first.
I am with Robby. I took a 160 with my Muzzle loader in velvet. I stripped it and sent it to research for the artificial velvet. I have used various methods over the years on clients work. The easiest to use was a Methanol soak. Soaked it for 7 days hung it for 10 and mounted it. It was a cactus...
