Displaying multiple euro mounts

GLEDEASY · Nov 25, 2020

I have multiple euro mounts of bucks I've taken, just sitting on the floor. I do have skull hooker mounts, but I don't feel like I a have a wall to hang them all. Would like to see some different ideas that people have done.

This is what I do with mine.

GLEDEASY · Nov 26, 2020

@buckrush I like that. Did you spray anything on the wood? Difficult to get it to stand?

I'll have to keep an eye out while in the hills.

Drift wood with 3/4 in wooden dowels to hold up the skull. Very easy and affordable, the bigger the piece of drift wood, the more racks you can put on the wood.

Skull hooker make a nice tree stand for multiple euros

Did this with my Daughter’s and my Antelope this year with an elk shed my Dad found during the Deer season. Still thinking of adding some vegetation to hide the rebar post.

Guess it would be hard to do with mule deer euros but wanted to share. That’s a lot of euros to deal with. Post a pic when you come up with an idea. Buckrush’s idea is Awesome. Freakin nice!

It’s called Hoarding, if you do not get rid of them. Give them to friends and family other fellow sportsmen sell them on MM or this is what is going to happen.

I just ordered the trophy tree I'm not sure if it's going to hold my elk though.

Here is how I’ve addressed multiple euros. Drill a hole back of skull, use small cable with ferrules as a stop at one end and loop at the other. Can then hang on a wall, ledge, pole etc.

Nope, I just went and found a good piece of wood and then sawed the bottom so it would stand! This is my last resort though until I can shoulder mount the big buck :/

I simply converted a log coat rack into my Euro Rack

I have the same problem....so many euro skulls scattered all over the floor and limited wall space. A euro tree makes a lot of sense. Here's a link to Skull Hooker's tree video. They are a little spendy but look really nice and have a lot of adjustments. Midway and others currently have it on sale.

It's possible to make your own as shown in several of the pictures above. This post has really caught my attention. It would be great to figure out an "artsy" way to show off euros and free up floor/wall space. A tree of some sort certainly sure looks impressive!

Deepcolor · Nov 27, 2020

Here are a few of mine, I think I could squeeze one more in there

I have thought many times through the years of trying to attach racks to a post some how. I like what you guys did with displaying your horns.

jims · Nov 28, 2020

I did some snooping around yesterday and found several youtube videos on budget euro mounts. Several guys used a corner bracket plus a bolt that only costs around $2,00 at Home Depot. I'm sure the same corner bracket could be used to attach skulls to a tree/pole.

Here's a link to one of the youtube videos:

California is a pain ,you have to really clean to bring in a Euro skull back from out of state

GLEDEASY · Nov 28, 2020

Some very cool displays. Probably will try the skull hooker tree for now. Has a clean look that I think my wife will appreciate lol.

GLEDEASY · Dec 27, 2020

Still waiting on a couple pieces to mount the last two euros, but I'm liking how it turned out.

Yeah cause the Ag station people are real scrupulous in their efforts.

Man that looks like a future of broken skull plates to me. On a side note, I paid my sister to clean my house once and she tripped on a shed horn and fell into a euro mount on the floor........she nearly bled out ???

HuckleberryHound · Dec 27, 2020

Ive been considering going the fudd route and nailing my euros to the barn. Yeah theyll bleach out and birds will crap on them, but it will free up some wall space in my small house. The alternative is putting them inside the barn, or in the basement.

wyomingsako · Dec 28, 2020

Cool thread, thanks for the ideas guys. everything looks great.

Looks good, I'm working on a couple for elk, and I know I'm going to need weight on the base.

For reference, I would say the base on this is about 20 pounds.

Deerlove · Dec 29, 2020

Yes I have it, but I'm going to try and cover it "base" with a old wooden box and put a sandbag on it. The box will hide the sandbag.

I've got the same deer picture....you've got good taste, sir!

Very nice guys. Great ideas. I need to do something with a few of the nicer ones I have not mounted one of these days. I have the same problem as a few on here.

Just built this pedestal for a local guy

The customer provided the stump I just build the pedestal. I start at $400 for the pedestals.

I don’t. I actually just built a bunch for my own mounts and then word got out ? now I have been building a few a month just as a hobby.

AZ4life · Jan 18, 2021

I bought these cedar slabs at a swap meet and the piping from the good ole home depot.

heyoldguy · Jan 20, 2021

The display was designed to mount on a wall but kinda got stuck in the back corner of the bench right now. Left skull is made from stainless steel tubing, center skull is natural from a deadhead that had the nose shot off and the right skull is from Type-L hard drawn copper.
