RE: best way to take hide off horns
 

Boil them, or bury them for while.

Don't let the hide dry. It's easiest when the hide is soft/somewhat fresh, and just cut it off with knife.

yup..

mine, took cut off horns and boiled in water for about 30 mins. Not the antlers but plate !

let it cool down over night and went to cutting away..

may even clean plate with clorox & water mix, after skinned (plate only.. not horns or base)..

Boil for an hour no more than hour and a half,do not let the actual antler itself be in the water. Take them immediately to your local carwash and it will all come off by pressure washing it
