Yes, the best thing you can do to prevent velvet from spoiling is getting it frozen!

Be VERY careful using Velvetlok. It does not work well for early season Velvet antlers!!!! Especially the large antlers with bulby tips. Feel free to call me and I'll be happy to tell you how to do it yourself using a better product.

Very cool!!!

Give me a call

I like to freeze 1 gallon water bottles and wrap the hide around them. I then place them in a game bag and place them in a cooler ABOVE the water line. DO NOT let the hide get wet!!!!!

Friendly reminder. Good luck to everyone tomorrow!

We were trolling lures with lead line to about 50 feet.

My wife and I just got back from a Spectacular fishing trip with Jim's fishing on Mohave lake. We both caught our personal best Striper. We were extremely fortunate to bring 12 fish to the boat in about 6 hours of fishing. If anyone is looking for a fun fishing trip, I HIGHLY recommend giving Jim a call. 928-245-3487

I'll take it

I'm looking for a used conex box. Just wondering if any CW members have any for sale.

Yes I do.

Freeze drying is absolutely the best method! I typically only freeze dry the larger trophy type velvet antlers due to the cost. I usually preserve the smaller velvet antlers myself.

Good luck to everyone heading out this weekend! Here are some tips on properly taking care of velvet antlers: Keep Cool: Keep the buck cool, ideally in the shade, to slow down decomposition. Heat and blood can speed up the process. Drain Blood: If you're staying in the backcountry for a while, drain the blood from the antlers. Some recommend hanging the buck upside down by the skull and making pinholes in the tips of each tine with a knife to let the blood drain out. Protect from Flies: Cover the antlers to keep flies away, but avoid using a plastic bag. Instead, use a deer meat bag to allow for air circulation. Avoid Handling: Don't touch the velvet too much, as this can damage its appearance. Avoid holding the buck by its antlers when taking photos; pick it up by the ears instead. When packing out or transporting the antlers, don't drag them or let anything rub against the velvet. Wrap and Secure: When securing the antlers to your pack, wrap them just below the base with a soft, thick, breathable material, and then strap or tie rope around it. As soon as possible, either deep freeze the antlers or take them to a taxidermist. If you need a euro done or have any questions feel free to give me a call. 928-595-1554. I’m located in the East Valley.

WOW, Very nice!!!!

I would like to purchase a Landowner permit for New Mexico Antelope. I'm struggling finding anything under $2000. If anyone has a ranch contact for a permit please send me a message. Thx, Adam
