Got back from WY with a set of horns I had cut from my kill. Already have several mounts so until I get a bigger one just thought I'd settle for horn plaques until that time.
Anyway I hung them up in a tree out front of the house. We took the son-in-law's cape to our taxidermist and she told me I needed to boil the honrs I told her about off the skull and clean them out otherwise they'd rot. Her instructions were great and I got the job done. The lucky side to all this is that I used my wife's canning cooker on her electric range. I really thought the kitchen would get stinky but to my surprise not a sign of any odor from those horns took form.
Ya learn something new everyday. Who's of thought I would be cooking antelope horns.
