Velvet preservation

[wytx]

Folks we know that have used Velvalok say it worked great but I'm betting liked stated above the antlers need to be hard under the velvet. Most of our animals taken out this way with velvet will be hard horned as our early seasons are in Sept for elk and deer.

This buck was done with that spray stuff mentioned above. The taxi did it, not me. I didn't think it was going to work out since when I shot him early (Aug 10), it was 100 degrees and took all day to get it out, then another to the taxi. It looks pretty good.


My caribou was done in AK, I'm not sure the method but he had it done pretty quick and looked like he was dipping them in a large tank. They look phenomenal, as good as the day I shot it. It took me 6 days to get it to him, I just left them sitting in the shade that entire time.

A buddy of mine showed me a bull elk that a friend of his mounted. The taxidermist flocked the antlers with static electricity, similar to flocked goose decoys. The artificial velvet looked great, much better than any artificial I had previously seen.
