I cut off the top of the skull and antlers, clean it up as best I can. then I brush a peroxide concoction on it which when it dries turns to powder and you simply brush it off.if doesn't come clean(white) the first time ,I repeat till it is.or there are skull forms you can buy and simply bolt the antlers to them.
I wrap mine with leather . I do my own but around here a good taxidermist will charge about 75-100 dollars for a horns on panel.

I would suggest you visit a taxidermist or two , to get some ideas and tips.
