I understand there is meat under antelope horns. My horns have been in the freezer since October and I plan on just a horn mount. How do you go about getting the meat out from under the horns?

Thanks,

If no one here is able to help you, go to taxidermy.net and post your question there. I am sure between these two sites someone can answer your question.

Here are a few options.
1. Soak them in a five gallon bucket of water for several days. Check them after a few days and see if they will pull off the skull plate. Use a twisting motion will help.
2. Place them in a heavey plastic bag, black is best, and place in the sun somewhere warm. Again check them in a few days and try twisting them off.
Note: Heat helps speed up both of these. The smell will be really bad because you are rotting.
3. Placce in a pot and give them a slow boil. About twenty of thirdy minutes should do. Try twisting them off again.
4. Wrap in a wet towel and micro wave them. Try a couple of minutes and then 30 seconds at a time untill you can twist them off.
Note: Do this outside the house!! Again, the smell can be tough!
What you will find in not "meat" but a cartlidge type material with hair running thru it. Its usually about a 1/8 thick tappering down to nothing in about 4 or 5 inches up into the horn.
Scrape it off the horn pedecal and any that may be inside.
By some 20 Mule Team Borax and springle on the skull and inside the horns after you give them a good wash.
Drill a 1/4 inch dia hole up into the horn pedecal from the inside of the skull plate. You will find a soft wet material inside. This will help dry them out. Pour some of the borax in the hole.
After all is dry you can glue the horns back on. Remember you need to replace the 1/8 thick material you removed. Bondo works god. Mix enough for one side and you wont run into them setting up to fast. You will have to hold them in place untill it kicks off.
Spray WD-40 over the horns untill they will not soak any more up. This will give them a nice natural look.
Have some fun, wear rubber gloves and old cloths when you are removing and cleanning the stinking things off!
Now you know why taxidermist get paid for what they do!!!

Thanks bo-n-aro...I think
