Yep, and any flesh, skin on the skull that you want off...this time of year find a nice ant hill, place the skull/antlers right over it, cover with a 5 gal. plastic bucket and check it in a couple of weeks. The ants will do a very nice job of cleaning it for you.

P.S. If you live where other critters or dogs can get to it, put a heavy rock or weight on the bucket end so they cannot over turn it.......
