Freeze drying is 100% the way to go. 

Spend the extra $ it's worth it.

Velvalok for the DIY folk. I am trying it today.

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.

 Brett Prentice at gametrail taxidermy did the euro mount.  I don't know what freeze dryer he sent the antlers to.

Adam, can a regular freezer work until getting it to a freeze drier?

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