displaying mounts
« on: August 13, 2011, 11:41:02 AM »
Any advice on displaying mounts in my pole building which has wood walls but is not climate controlled.  i would like to hang my elk in velvet, 2 deer, and a bear rug. it gets real hot in there in summer months and real cold in the winter . will i harm the mounts or will they be just fine ? i can always leave them inside but i thought they would look real cool out there. :dunno:

If it were me I would leave them inside.  Temperature is not your only factor here.  You also have humidity and bugs to contend with.

Hey manfromspam, are those bulls in your avatar in vevelt  :dunno:
I would show off just skull plates and euro mounts outside but not shoulder mounts or skins. My buddys dad has 4 deer mounts in his shop and they are pretty faded and they don't get sun.

You don't want mounts to get sun.  It causes them to fade.
