Cool idea Flat or the European Mount which you can do yourself. http://www.siloutdoors.com/imagehosting/118449c062954758c.jpg bowhunter21 04-08-2010, 19:13 I would like to do the european mount but I dont know about the skull ive seen some reproductions that look realy bad but some look good I just dont know witch brands are the best i do know I wont disgrace it by useing an iron buck lofjas 04-08-2010, 19:23 I would like to do the european mount but I dont know about the skull ive seen some reproductions that look realy bad but some look good I just dont know witch brands are the best i do know I wont disgrace it by useing an iron buck Ask around you may find a friend or someone that has a nice skull with not so good or chewed up antlers on it that they may want to get rid of . And a real skull looks much nicer than any of the fake skulls I have looked at. Some are nice but they just don't look real enough to me.:) bowhunter21 04-08-2010, 19:41 Thanks that sounds good Ill start asking around cttgarcia03 04-10-2010, 09:22 well let's see some pics of the nice set at least bowhunter21 04-10-2010, 14:40 http://www.siloutdoors.com/imagehosting/8734bc0d34992e38.jpg heres the set found the first side on feb 7 spent many hours looking for the other side finnaly found it march 6 was beginning to give up hope lofjas 04-12-2010, 12:17 Very nice indeed!

I wish I had a pic of a matching set my brother in law found season before last in Jackson C. He gave them to my dad and my dad had a taxidermist mount them European style. Turned out really nice. Think it ran around $120 or so. The taxidermist was located in Ga. cttgarcia03 04-12-2010, 18:58 awesome how far away from the first antler did you find the match? bowhunter21 04-13-2010, 15:38 About 3/4 mile I also found last years match set in the same area. Then I was showing them off when someone said they had some pics of that deer. there was no doubt they were the same deer but from 6.5 miles away. cttgarcia03 04-13-2010, 17:44 About 3/4 mile I also found last years match set in the same area.

Would be a great ending of an era to have 2 years worth of sheds and pics. |
