Did you or would you inject the horns with the alcohol too? My buck it still pretty bloody. His horns have barely hardened. They were still pliable before I put him in the freezer. I figured denatured alcohol was good for bucks who have started to harden and the alcohol would just remove any moisture from the skin.DENATURED ALCOHOL. Hang them upside down and spray them a few times a day with denatured alcohol. Take an awl and poke some holes in the tips and let them dry. Keep this up for a few days. Mine have been like new for almost twenty years.
