Rack in velvet

[Goodguy]

Looks like I'm going to take a roadtrip down to Kentucky for a early bowhunt. Bow season in Kentucky begins September 2nd and the deer are obviously still in velvet.

My question is that if I'm lucky enough to take a nice buck in velvet, how do I go about preserving the rack for a mount? Thanks for the advice in advance!

I had a large velvet rack from a road kill mounted. The rack had to be sent out to be tanned. It came out great.I will try and get a photo of it to post.

best thing is get it to a taxidermist asap it has to be injected with a perservitive or freeze dried.
