    Red Deer Mount - need a hand

    Hi Guys

    The youngest boy just shot his first red stag and he wants to mount the head (see attached picture). We have cleaned it up but not sure what the best approach is to mount it. A quick bit of research suggests we need to use an 'antler form' : Antler Mounting Instructions but have never done this before so any guidance/ideas/tips would be very much appreciated !

    thanks !

    Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

    I think I have a couple of head skins in my old mans freezer if he hasn't thrown them out, postage they are yours for a full shoulder mount.

    thanks

    ok - I think the wooden shield might be the best bet - that way they young guy can do a bit of woodworking as well

    vietnam cam - that's a brilliant offer thanks, but probably a bit ambitious for the young guy to 'DIY' that one

    Thanks again !!

    European style mount on a wooden shield looks good. They normally leave a bit more skull but I am sure you could make it work with what you have got
