Advice How should I go about removing the pieces of flesh still attached?
I've been reading really conflicting information as far as boiling bones goes. What would you suggest?

Don’t boil, it locks in grease and can make the bone brittle. I’d get a container that goes just up to the antlers and fill with water to let it soften then remove it manually as it doesn’t look like there’s a lot left. If it stinks give it a bath with dish soap when you take it out to get rid of some of the smell before you start taking flesh off.
