Subsequently, question is, what do you do with an antelope head? Fill the horn sheaths with borax and let them sit for a couple of weeks. It will help dry out the inside and keep them from smelling. Once the sheaths come off, you can boil the rest of the head and get it completely clean and bleached, just like you would a deer.

If the skull is malodorous from decay, it will be repugnant during boiling. In this situation, boil it on a camp stove outside, or in the garage, in a castaway pot. Immerse the skull in water and let simmer. A thawed wolf or bear skull requires perhaps eight hours of simmering.
How do you boil antelope horns?
Sealing them in a garbage bag for 10 days is about as easy as it gets. Then once the horns are off you can boil out the skull, or plate, to remove the flesh. Put them in a black bag & seal it up, put it up on top of the roof & they should come off in 24-48hours. There needs to be some moisture in the bag.
