How do you remove the bone from a deer tail ?

[fcap60]

a hunter friend just gave me 3 bucktails. Forunately, he had them in the freezer for a while, but I plan to wash them throughly with soap and ammonia,then let them sit in the gargage to dry for a while for a while. There's a bit of flesh remaining and there's still the bone through the tail. I wasn't sure whether I should try to remove the bone now, or let it sit for a while after drying

I would appreciate any suggestions for removing it.

thanks and happy holidays
