Goat Horn Preservation

Submitted by Andrew on 4/24/06 at 6:44 AM. ( andyroonz@hotmail.com ) 220.236.171.249

I shot my first goat on easter weekend and I was wanting to know how to preserve the horns. I am leaving them attached to the top square of the skull. Do I boil the whole thing? One of the horns has come loose too, should this happen? I have seen others that are really white on the skull, how do I do that, bleach?

Use a bucket or garbage bag with a small amount of water in it to rot the horns off the cores,boil only the core.When the core is cleaned and dry,bug proof,then re attach the horn to the core with bondo or epoxy.


Thanks

Thanks Rob, do you know about how to get the skull really white like I've seen on others?
