As far as how to process the bones for crafting... here is one easy way if you have a lot of ant mounds. Chain the bone to a heavy brick or cement block. This prevents the bone from being dragged off by a predator.  Then stick the bone in the ant mound.  Make sure to jam it in as deep as possible.  Be careful on this step because it really ticks off the ants.  I said chain the bone to the brick because if you use a rope especially a rope made from natural materials the ants will eat the rope. Use chain and all the ants will strip from the bone is meat and gristle

I have tons of these, I haven't figured out what to do with them yet, though.

They are nutritious, but like others, I'm worried about the smell and attracting critters. I throw them in my biochar.  It's a great solution for me.
