Just finished a couple tails--First I wash them with soapy water to remove any dirt or blood and rinse. Lay it good side down and slit to the tip of the bone peal the skin off the sides and air dry. Do not use salt or borax!!! That just adds more work in cleaning. I just use a hack saw to cut the material off the antler,then pliers.

My son likes to leave the bugs clean scull and all by putting the head in a tree--
