[QUOTE="AT Hiker, post: 4733314, member: 10019"] Thanks Joe! Fairchaser; As for preserving the velvet I believe just about anything will work. I found a velvet antler turkey hunting in KS one year that was from the previous season and the velvet was still attached. It didn’t look good, granted. Now what works best or looks best? I’ve tanned them in a submersible solution and freeze dried, I suspect the freeze drying is better simply by how the process works. Tanning (or injection) works good too and is much cheaper but it’s night and day difference in how looks with the freeze dry looking superior. It just has a softer look to. I just think artificial velvet looks...well artificial. Sometimes it’s your only option and I get to that. I need to look hard at artificial options and see what the cost on high quality is, I suspect it’s very pricey. Artificial should eliminate any chance of bugs so that’s a plus.
