My 9 year old son's first deer, a 2x1 blacktail, shot during modern firearm with a muzzleloader. I decided to just mount the antler's myself. Some skinning, some boiling, a piece of driftwood, some leather, some decorative thumb tacks, a name plate, some twine wrapped around the base of the antlers, and BAM! Be easy on me because it's the first time I ever tried this from start to finish. Grandma used to do ours for us, or atleast everything after the skinning and boiling.
