Gentlemen, I recently opened some Oryx european mounts I had sent from Namibia. The inside of the horns has a strong stench. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting rid of the stench? The skulls are bleached white and the horns appear very clean. | ||

Dump some baking soda in and on them and let sit for a few days. The smell usually dissipates over time. Its very hot and humid out here, so being confined in the crate probably made it worst then it is. Paul B | |||

good advice from Paul, another thing you can do is spray some diluted bleach water into the horns. Jerry Huffaker State, National and World Champion Taxidermist | |||

Thanks for the advice, gentlemen. I sprayed some diluted bleach in the horns and let that soak for a few hours. I then rinsed the horns with water and let them dry in the sun. Now they are sitting in the garage with a dusting of baking soda. The odor is mostly gone, at this point it is just a light smell. | |||
