I just shot a buck in montana, he came out of a burn and has charcoal black antlers. Are there any taxidermists around snohomish that specialize in these mounts?

You'll want to find someone (taxi) that uses beetles. The steam from boiling will discolor the charcoal staining and make it look like bad watercolors...

I've done quite a few of my own bucks, but only by boiling. I have ran into problems from steam with unique antler colorations.

Nice work on those bucks twitch, and thanks for the advice. It never crossed my mind that the steam would discolor the antlers.

You could always seal the color on the antlers before you clean it up. I've done about 8 euros. Congrats on the deer!
