I've been using soda ash in with the simmer water with decent results and I may try oxyclean if I get a deer this year too, I've heard a number of people have good success with it too.

Get a membership at Sally's Beauty supply and get the 40 volume bleach developer to use as the whitening agent after the simmer. Its about 18% peroxide, works really well and is WAY cheaper than the 35% stuff you can buy. I myself use a little paint brush to paint it on but you can thin it out at bit and spray it too.
This ^^^. I did my buck last year this way and in the process of doing my moose right now.
