Usually I'm the guy at our work that takes off to antelope hunt. My unit has blown up and most of the other guys got tags somewhere. I'm home staining my deck and not very happy. mtmuley

They hunted crappy easy to draw units. I feel better. mtmuley

I hope you pulled the sheaths off and took the inside liner off the bone. If not that is really gonna smell in a day or so and rot away the outside horn sheath.

Set it submerged in hot water for 20 min or so to softened the outer sheath. Then put your foot on the skull and pull while twisting the horn. It may take more soaking.

Once the horn is off fill it with borax soap and let it dry for a week or so.

Simmer the skull plate about a hour or so just below boiling. Scrape all the flesh and remaining sheath off. Cut 1/2 - 3/4” off the very tip off the bone horn, let dry for a week.

After the week and everything is dry, Blow out all the borax out of the outer sheath. Fit the sheath back on by using paper towel in the horn till you get the right height you want. Use white bathroom caulk to glue the outer horn sheath back on. Do this upside down so nothing leaks out onto the skull plate. Let sit upside down overnight.

Mount to the wall and be done.

I let one of my antelope sit in the garage in Sept for a couple of weeks and the horns slipped off the sheath. Stunk a bit, and I cleaned it out with something, can't remember. Congratulations on your antelope!

I put them in the freezer to stop the rotting process, till I get to them

My speed goat craving is an every year thing. I thoroughly enjoy hunting them, and apply every year in multiple states. Antelope are crazy animals to hunt.

If you only shot off of a lead sled, I would suggest that you try some shots off your bipod or off a pack. Your point of impact could be way different. At least, that was my experience.

That is great advice! I have noticed that with a couple of my rifles!
