Guest Andrea Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Anybody had experience with getting a buck in velvet mounted? I heard it doesn't look all that great. But I was hoping to put one on the wall one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artisticwhitetails Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Re: Velvet mount???? The mounting process for a deer in velvet is no different than any deer except the way the rack is handled. Velvet racks must be preserved properly to maintain their appearence or they will rot, leaving you with a bleached out looking rack. In my opinion the best way to preserve a velvet rack is to have it freeze dryed. If you are lucky enough to harvest a velvet clad buck you need to be very careful with the rack. Try to handle the rack as little as possible to avoid damaging the velvet and get it into a freezer asap. If proper field care and a good taxidermist is used, velvet mounts can be beautiful and unique pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
