    I have a set of caribou horns for a cutosmer that are in velvet. They soaked them in the cold river than covered in salt does anybody have an idea if it will stay on? He shot it in Aug. and it has been sitting in a warehouse and also his garage since then. My question is should i freeze dry it or can i soak it in something to preserve it. Any help would be great.

    caribou don't have horns. Horns don't have velvet. Are you sure its a caribou?
