I prick the ends of the antlers and flush the blood out with salt water and a neelde. Then I inject them with velvet tan. Then you can let them dry.

Freeze Dry them.
Split skull plate for cheaper shipping and drying. Wrap them in a well insulated box. Wait until cold weather gets here and ship them to me. Or ship them tomorrow overnight only. I will Freeze dry them for you. Then I will ship them back to you once payment has been received. Tutorial done. Grin Wink
If any one needs pictures I could probably show you step by step how to box and ship them........... Grin

You have to get all the blood out and thats what stinks if you dont............
The best way is putting them in a stream and let it clean out the blood but thats risky.............
