That's an amazingly fast turnaround! I'm having friends of ours do mine (I pay them), they did my last one and it turned out great.

 

Here's a question: how do you guys hang your European mounts? I mounted two screws in the wall positioned where the main beams bend forward and countersunk a hole in the back of each antler. The screws protrude from the wall 3/4" and the mount simply hangs from them. It's flush with the wall and doesn't risk damaging the delicate bone structures, but the downside is that there is a hole in the back of each antler. It's not visible when mounted and the angle of the head on the mantle is perfect, but still...there's two holes in the rack now. I'm sure there's a better way.

Keith, Nice display there! I use these and they mimic a shoulder mount basically for Euro pieces. I'll throw up another pic later, its early! Andy

Here's a few older ones I put up in the garage when trying it out. I have yet to mount my collection of Euros in the house. Stained one is older rough work. The model in the pics is the Little Hooker.

Must be some movement today, three guys (make that four) in the last ten minutes have started early.  One blasting away 5 times like a champ

Good to be back in the woods. Not a ton of action but the right kind of action. had a breeding party come through the woods. Stud 10 point on the tail of a doe with a couple of little bucks in tow. Of course they stayed in the thick stuff. Big buck snorted wheezed and chased a small buck off. Grabbed the grunt and did a series of tending grunts. Had a wide racked short time ten point come in from behind me and was gone in a heartbeat. Never had a good shot. It happened fast and with the wet ground, he was dead quiet. Didn't notice him until he was 20 yards from me.

Is it raining up there also? I hate it when it rains, have to rely on sight!! Many times they have sneaked right behind me, I just caught a flick of a tail or ear.
