Velvet preservation

[realunlucky]

There's a few threads on early season velvet preservation, but I'm curious if there are any new products out there that work?

What are you using, and how do you like the finished results? Post a picture I'd love to see.

Guess I’m weird, I strip it off every whitetail and mule deer I kill in velvet. Looks like crap anyways even when a taxidermist preserves it….best way I’ve found is hang em, poke holes to let the blood drain, then pump em with formaldehyde.

I poked small holes in each tip of my son’s whitetail and froze it for 2-1/2 years in the deep freezer. It still looks fantastic after almost 10 years now.

There's a snake oil sales man no pun intended company. I think it's called like velvalok technologies or something,whatever anyone does don't buy it. It's a scam artist that got some advertising money. You look at the ingredients list on the bottle. It's denatured alcohol mixed with 'proprietary fragrances" it's a black bottle and there's one taxidermy company selling it. They say many taxidermists recommend it. They don't. No sane or good taxidermist would recommend it. Some need freeze dried and a lot just need to sit in pure denatured alcohol to cure.

I would still only do freeze dried.

If there is one thing I would change in my life its chemical exposure- especially formaldehyde.
