I put regular two screw hangers on the skulls themselves, then put screws in the elk shed, and hung them like a picture... I had to use a little apoxie sculpt to keep the skulls straight (they wanted to swing)...

that looks really nice.
“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.”

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

They say that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."  If that's true then hopefully you won't mind if I try something similar, that really looks great with the elk shed.
Disappointments are inevitable, misery is optional.

They are both reproduction skulls out of Van Dykes... They make shed skulls or skull plat cut out skulls... very strong! except from 30 ft to concrete...
