I have done a lot of european mounts on Antelope. I have never been happy how I slip the horns off of the skull.
I normally submerge the entire horn in simmering water and eventually it slips off.
I dont like that the bottom will warp and also it sometimes cracks a little on the bottom.
When I go to put the horn on the cleaned skull I let it soak in warm water again before I slip it on to make sure it is pliant.
Any tricks of the trade the professionals use??
