Check this out. Notice that it says to boil at least 20 minutes and that you must get it into the vice immediately before it cools off at all.

I spoke with a fella last night that told me the greener antler and horns bend easier. He also suggested heating in oil if the water didn't work. Haven't tried it yet but he said he'd had success.
