Generally they will, but in a bad dry year they may not gain anything compared to the previous year. To prepare antelope horns for mounting you actually boil the horns until the outer black sheath comes off. Then that is cleaned out thoroughly before slipping it onto the mold that resembles the bone from the actal live animal head and bonding it in place before the tanned hide is put on.
