[QUOTE="Petersen, post: 317583, member: 8372"] JE is right. Antelope horns need a lot more care than antlers.. If you want to stay and hunt for a while, cape the animal out and keep the horns in a cooler. When I boil these out I have the water simmering with the water level almost up to the prongs. After a while you will be able to twist the horns off. When you do this you measure how far the prong tips are apart and how far the tip of the horns are apart because when you reassemble the horns and skull you want him to look like your antelope. When you take the horns off there is a hairy sheath underneath you need to take off the skull. When I put the horns back on I use bondo. It will definitely be easier for you to drop it off at a taxidermist. [/QUOTE]
