I have used the fire ant mounds as well to strip a buffalo skull. They were very quick and you didn't have to worry about boring insects.

Otherwise the water/bleach in a bucket has worked in the past. After the skin is off use just a water soak and add dried leaves (oak work the best) to give it a brownish tint.

Make sure to keep dogs/cats away from it when it has the bleach mix. Try cutting slots in the bucket lid to allow the antlers to pass through and then tape around them.
