EAS Report post Posted June 3, 2011 I tell you what folks... Dale at Wild Heritage Taxidermy did a great job on my Velvet buck. just finished last week, you can see photos of him finished. I chose to use his summer coat, ragged as it may be, it’s the buck I harvested and I love it. one thing I can say to everyone hunting in the heat is be prepared. like Dale said in many of his posts, keep the hide cool and keep the velvet antlers cool. Dale uses and sells a preservative that should be applied right after you take the animal, and it helps maintain the hide and prevent slippage – Dale maybe you can expand on the product I’m referring to as I forget the name of it. Anyway folks, take a look at my (otc archery tag) buck taken last August in the 90 degree heat. Dale preserved the original velvet antlers and hide. It was important to me that they not be flocked and the hide be from the buck I harvested. I couldn’t be happier with how my trophy turned out. BIG thanks to Dale and Heather at Wild Heritage Taxidermy!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Buckwheat Report post Posted June 13, 2011 Nothing prettier than a velvet buck. I had one european mounted a few years ago. I love the way it looks. What did your buck measure and score? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
