Cleaning antlers. |

I got a buck this year that wasn't done rubbing the velvet off |
|
his antlers for some weird reason. How do I clean the blackened |
|
blood & dried pieces of velvet off the rack ? Just going to |
|
mount the rack & part of the skull cap. |

About the only thing you can do is soak in water to loosen it up |
|
and peal it off. I shot one years ago that still had some on |
|
the tips....they are still darker the the rest of the rack. I |
|
think it look nice this way. |

As Yote said above, you will have to soak em. If the rack is |
|
stained, add some bleach to the water. After you have let it |
|
soak, bring the water to a boil and cook the rack for about an |
|
half to 1 hour. This is necessary to harden the rack if velvet |
|
was still on the horns. |

Long ago, I did not hear about the issues discussed. |
