Soaked it for a few days. It had been in the woods so long the bugs had already done all the hard work. It was already odorless.
I guess I was suppose to leave the antlers above the water line but I found that out after I soaked it.
skull has saw cuts both in front of and behind the antlers. My guess is kids were trying to cut them off the head while the corps was in a rotting stage and just couldn’t handle the stench.
