hey so i was just wounderin if ya'l had any suggestions on how i should do my European mount? i was thinkn bout doin some kinda base for it instead of just a typical wall mount but like a stand of some shorts.

I used one like this on the big two point that I got a few years ago. Just an idea.

i like the plaque ones that come off the wall and the antlers go paralell with the wall just a thought thats how im doing my archery buck euro

I've posted this before, but here's a Diorama I did for my brother.
You could easily add some legs to the base of the Diorama and turn it into an end table too.

I've also seen people use a set of sheds as the base to hold the skull off the wall. Sorry no pic but it looks cool.

NotEnufTags i really like that idea and might do somethin similar to that. that is really cool. did you use like real sage and grass or what

Yes I just picked up a piece of dead sagebrush and pulled some desert grasses out. The brown "ground" that you see is rock mix from Trufitt taxidermy supply. It comes with powdered dyes so you can mix the color from anything from white to black for your base. I spread the rock mix on chicken wire mesh. While it was still wet I stuck the grasses into the wet mix.

Here's a pic of the base before I put the rock mix on.

awesome i will have to look into that how much does that mix cost?

I don't remember the exat cost. It was under $20. I think it was in the $14 - $16 range.

NotEnufTags,

Thats a great idea NotEnoughTags! How long did the process take?
