sherman Report post Posted December 19, 2014 So I have always mounted my own antlers. This year I thought I would try something different for myself a European mount with the help from hoghntr I got mine done and think it looks good what do you think? I have 2 more to do so will add pictures as I finish them Got #2 done this is my friends deer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Couestracker Report post Posted December 19, 2014 Looks great! Which part did Hoghntr do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sherman Report post Posted December 19, 2014 He just told me how to clean them. He is a good friend but I would not ask him to drive 3 hours to clean a skull. But he gave good instructions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Couestracker Report post Posted December 19, 2014 Cool Sherman. Did you make your own plaques? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sherman Report post Posted December 19, 2014 Yes sir i did. It is kind of like my own tribute to the great deer we hunt in this state Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Couestracker Report post Posted December 19, 2014 Nice! I noticed that they're all from the same template but different woods. Good idea and looks great. I had my first big game animal, a 5x5 elk, mounted on a state shaped oak plaque-just the antlers. Thanks for the reply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sherman Report post Posted December 19, 2014 It was very time consuming but I think it was worth it. I probably will stick with this method Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mattys281 Report post Posted December 20, 2014 Some nice looking work. Next time I shoot one that doesn't rate a shoulder mount, I may have to give that a shot. Kinda makes me sorry I didn't keep the antlers off my forky from last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kinda makes me sorry I didn't keep the antlers off my forky from last year.. I tried it out on this on because if i messed it up it would make me mad but i would not be heart broken but if i messed up a bigger one i would be pissed. So i used it as a learning experience. And i am not into shoulder mounts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And i am not into shoulder mounts I like the shoulder mounts myself, but have a shortage of space plus the wife is not a fan of 'living in a wildlife museum' so im banned from mounting any more. These euro mounts look like a nice option to hang over the desk though without taking up a lot of room. I like it. Nice work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
