    Ideas for goat horns

    I found my old goat horns the other day, horns is all I have, no bone, not massive but one of very few trophy's I have ever kept, was my first big billy when first starting out years ago

    So what would be a good way to hang them/ mount them, what have you seen done?

    Shoot another goat and stick the horns over the other goats head?

    Make up a base with a couple of spikes off the side that will hold the horns?

    I don't shoot too many goats, although that may work I would only need a small piece of bone to connect them

    I will hunt around for some pics and see if I find something I like

    Saw a couple of big body ones the other night, small horns on them but maybe enough to fudge something?
    One of them is permanently sitting below one of the back roads now, I'd give the blow flies some time to do their job first though

    Just go and recover that Billiy that Mohawk660 shot Barefoot. It was a big bugger and would just be a skeleton where the two of you dropped it now
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.

    The one by the gate? Should have a look, it's nice and easy to get to now.
    Have you heard from him lately? I sent a txt last week for a hunt and didn't even get a reply

    They've cut the top off the head to do that by the looks. Middle one though doesn't seem right. Haven't seen horns grow that close together I think its man mad holder.

    I like the whole skull, looks cool. I have 5 in my room

    No it has been a while. He moved to a new station didn't he? Could be busy being the honcho.

    Don't worry Moonhunt, he is probably having a senior moment.
