Can anyone tell me if there is a way to remove blood stains from an antelope mount?

Buy some blood release and use a paper towel to apply to stain , let it sit then take wet cloth and dab it dry. Repeat until it is clean. You can get blood release at Van Dykes for sure. But check WASCO first. I am sure WASCO has some type of blood release
I have been using basic white along w/ 40 vol hydrogen peroxide. Mix them to the consistency of toothpaste brush on the top of hair sorta smooth it on top of hair leave for around 15 minutes and brush out repeat if necessary. (I wouldnt leave it on any longer than 15 minutes at a time or it can cause the hair to curl on the tips)
Good luck
Trevor, had you checked the archives it's already been covered extensively. Antelope hair is completely hollow and the problem you have is osmosis. The blood is INSIDE the hair and the peroxide ain't gonna work to well on the brown hair and it's going to turn your white hair yellow. Best cure for your problem is to advise the hunter to stop being such a dumbass and keep the hair out of the blood. When it's fresh, it can be washed off easily, but rolling it up in the blood almost guarantees a ruined hide.
