Can you guys post some pics of euro mounts, my brother has many but would like to see some different ways others have done theirs. All mine are shoulder mounts.

has anyone ever just used a shed to mount it to rather than a plaque?

There is a really cool pic of a euro mount on a shed. I have been looking for it, but can't remember what topic it was under.

You will see one mounted on a shed in about 2 weeks. I will post when it is done.

very nice Ironhead, do you have a side view? How did you mount it to it?

I am curious as to how you attached it as well.

I was thinking about taking a large elk shed and putting two euro skulls on it. Kinda off set, one higher than the other. Angle the horn on the wall. Just a thought. I might play with it.

I drilled 2 holes in the shed then put some wood in the nasal cavity for backing, to run 2 - 1 5/8" sheetrock screws through the skull into. Takes about 5 minutes to mount the shed. I have also seen guys epoxy wire into the bottom of the skull and then drill holes in shed to attatch the wire to.

You know me nothing fancy here, I used left over material from building my fence. I suppose a guy could take a router to the edges if they wanted, but to me just a rough look for a display is fine.
