Euro Plaque/ Euro photo thread

[tperry5]

Thought I would try a different way to display my european mounts and came up with this, I also have a few other ideas I'm working on. This is also a no-drill mount which I much prefer over drilling into the skulls. I Would like to see some of your own ways to display euro mounts, I'm sure much more clever than me!

Pretty neat idea..could even go broadhead shape with it for archery animals.

Been using a Taxidermist in Bend that uses high quality wood. He does attach them with a bolt. I really like the nice wood, it's my favorite Euro style so far. My brothers deer is on Juniper, my antelope on Myrtlewood. He uses two slabs, hopefully you can see that from the side view of the antelope.

Those are very nice Tim, it's a nice way to display european mounts. Here's a bear of mine I did from a couple years back.

I love that. The natural asymmetry in good wood really appeals to my eye vs a plaque type.

Tperry, can we make this a euro photo thread? I can change the thread heading a bit

That's fine with me and would enjoy that myself.

I used and old hand made pack frame for mine.

I really like the idea. That looks really nice and classy. I get tired of seeing the same old plaques. I have made a few out of old barn wood, unfortunately they were for my dad and I don't have any pictures. I use the skull hooker. It's nice because I can change deer in and out really easily.

I picked that one up at a garage sale over twenty years ago. Never knew what to do with it, just thought it was cool!

It looks great. First thing I wondered is how uncomfortable that would be loaded vs today's packs. Nice find and better mount!
