[QUOTE="Jmed, post: 4626325, member: 13887"] Ive got a velvet on the wall. From KY 3 years ago. My taxidermist told me to get him caped and cold as soon as possible. Killed him at sunset, caped him and put the cape/ horns in a HD gabage bag in a large tote. Packed ice all around the bag ( he said its important not to get the velvet or cape wet), by sunrise I was headed home and had the cape in my deep freeze by lunch. mount turned out perfect! So my advice; be careful with the velvet, it is fragile! dont get it wet. keep it cool as possible and get it to the taxidermist quickly. Ive hunted KY for several years and have killed and been along for several of my buddies and I can not stress how important it is to get your meat cooled of as quickly as possible. Meat goes bad quick in those temps! Also, it goes without saying. nothing carries more chiggers and ticks than a velvet buck. as soon as he begins cooling off those suckers will be on the hunt for some warm blood!! Good luck to all!
