    Can you seal the antlers with any think to stop them fading?

    Probably comes down to where you store them. I have sets that are 10years old and still look mint - I put Danish oil on them once a year or whenever I'm thinking of them, still dark as the day they were shot.

    Keep them away from direct sunlight and weather and they should stay dark for years.
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.
