Antelope horns

[runamuk]

Looking for advice on how to make them not stink.

Thanks

I have some that are almost 10 years old and they still have that goat/farm animal smell to them.

If you clean up the skull plate with a bench grinder the smell will be so bad you won't notice the horns anymore.     Actually, I sprayed mine down with fabreeze everyday for a week and unless you stick them up to your nose they're pretty tame smelling...

Runamuk,
Did you pop the horns off the skull? Because they are horns they come off the carapace of the skull. In between the skull carapace and the horns is a rubber type sheath that if not removed by either bugs or boiling the horns will stink to no end as that ‘sheath’ will rot inside the horns. Clean it off then bondo or hot glue the horns back on the cleaned carapace.
If you did do this and they still stink it’s probably the skull that’s putting off the smell of the trapped grease. You can either simmer it with s handful of soda ash but you would want to remove the horns first.
If all of this has been done a really easy want to get rid of that Snell is scrub the horns down with soap and hit water, let dry, and then buy some standard scent killer like the primos brand or similar and soak those babies with it and let it dry. When all dry take a clean rag and put a wetting amount of WD40 and wipe em’ down and let them dry...should take care of it. Good luck! Joel/BRT

Thank you this is a bag of horns on carapace that was removed from antelope and nothing else. I will give the person a heads up. Her car smells pretty rank. She wants to offload them but doesnt want to stink up my shop. 😂😂😂

I remember finding a big Antelope skull while Elk hunting in Idaho. Wanted to pack it out but it stunk so bad I left it

  if Run says they smell bad then they must smell bad bad bad. I know her nose has had some rank up in it from her glory days of college co-ed and rainbow feet all night parties and god knows what that smelled like.

I happen to know a high school teacher about 40 miles away that would take them off her hands for his classroom...

Dude there are some good uns in there. I already scored a nice muley rack. And have ny sights on one of the antelope.

Just cuz I was a skunk trapper and a squatch hunter does not make me the knower of rank. They are not as bad as a gut truck on a hot summer day.

I appreciate all the help will update as the adventure unfolds.

Did I mention my friend is from Montana and apparently they kill a lot of critters over there.

You just need to embrace the aroma.

That's because God lives in Montana and he gifts wild game to anyone who is willing to move there, brave the winters and try to make a living...
