What's your favorite method of mounting deer sheds? I want to give a set as a Christmas present and wanted opinions. Thanks in advance.

The mountain mikes are a good way to get them on a skull. Find some old barn wood that has the right shape and build a plaque that will display the skull out away from the wall at about a 45 degree angle . . . I'll also wrap some old barbed wire around the burr and hang them on the wall, which looks pretty cool and is very easy.

sounds like a very cool mount. do you have any pictures? i'd love to see them!

Here's a set I mounted on a MM reproduction skull. Kind of a wierd set of sheds.

Here's a few pics. For the plaque I used an old piece of wood I found that had the right shape. It's a little long, but it had the right shape without having to cut it. I think it gives it a neat natural/rustic look. Then I used a section from a 4" diameter log for the horizontal piece, and a old piece of weathered cedar for the back . . .

That looks awsome, I got a bunch of old barn wood and some old ceder posts with the green and orange moss on them that would look good. I cut a slab off about a 12" ceder log cut the back of it on a angle and were the nose comes down theres a busted branch, it turned out awsome.

hitman that buck is a stud

 

[HiMtnHntr]

He's stud all right. The antlers are actually cut-offs from a lion-killed deer and not natural sheds. I have only one side from the year before. As they sit on the MM skull, they're just shy of 200".

Here's a couple of sets on the skulls and plaques that I sell, and have done.

 

[HiMtnHntr]

Elkster, those arrowhead plaques are neat! Do the skulls you sell come with the bar stock in them? I like the idea of being able to take the antlers off and on.

 

[Clyde Hollinger]

HiMtn, no they don't come with the rod in them. I add that when I mount the sheds. Alot of guys like to be able to take off their sheds and still be able to handle them.

 

[HiMtnHntr]

Elkster, I sent you a PM.

Got it! Sent ya one back!
