Deer rug question

[grundy53]

I have a question for the Taxidermists on the site. Has anyone ever done a full deer rug with a complete head and horns attached?

Interesting idea. Tagging to see if so and if there are any pictures put up.

Not a taxidermist, but my friend had one done on a pinto blacktail spike buck...It's awesome.

How would you attach the horns to the skin?  Superglue?

[Blacktail Sniper]

I would guess it would be done with skull plate or like a bear rug, but with a taxidermy deer head form instead of a bear head form.

Hopefully somebody has some pictures they can post up.

I have done a deer rug a few years back have been looking for a photo but cant find one but its basically the same as the whitetail that is in the post but did with a blacktail.Put rings on the back so can hang on wall.
