[QUOTE="AER244, post: 4158120, member: 48618"] Thanks! The deer doesn’t stink at all, but he was fairly fresh. The very tips of the antelope horn cores (or whatever the bone beneath the horn is called) are a bit smelly, but it’s only about 1/2” of them that wouldn’t fit completely under the water/peroxide. To me, it’s not strong enough to be off-putting and I only notice it when the horns are off and it’s right in my face. In my experience, the beauty store 40 volume peroxide creme mixed at 1ish cup per gallon in water does a pretty good job of de-stinking/degreasing/whitening. I usually mix the peroxide and water, place the skull in the pot, bring the pot to boil and then turn off the heat and just let the head soak in the pot overnight- or longer if necessary. But be mindful of where that peroxide goes- it’ll bleach anything it touches, including your skin and the animals horns. I think I paid $14 for a gallon of the 40 volume creme at sally beauty supply a couple years ago. And like [USER=15054]@swampratt[/USER], I use a power washer to clean the heads after my initial boil. It’s messy as hell, but it does get them real clean.[ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_2804.jpeg"]428058[/ATTACH] ETA: the antelope smelled pretty rough when it came out of the ground, but it wasn’t unbearable [/QUOTE]
