With all the back & forth on Antelope horn removal tast week I figured I would show my simple "fool proof" method of removing the horn's LOL

FIRST!! Before removing I drill a small pilot hole in each outer side where the "notch" is on the shell. When you re-attach the shell's of Antelope horns they will slide all the way to the base of the skull which is to far. This hole allows you to insert a brake when reattaching the shells so you do not have to guess the proper allignment & heighth of each horn.


Then I simmer them one side at a time in dawn soap & baking soda on VERY LOW heat for 15-20 minutes (a smaller pot allows you to regulate the temperature better)


Stick in other side for 15-20 minutes


And that's it


I then simmer the skull cap only for another 15-20 minutes to remove the reast of the meat & grease.

That the way to do it!!

Been doing some digging and found this. Will the same process work on an aoudad or is there and different way?

How much twisting do you have to do get the horn off? Is the Dawn soap help with that?
