A ranch owner friend of mine found the matching sheds off a very nice buck he has running around on his place. I said I'd mount them on a plaque for him. I discovered that they make a plastic skull top that you can mount the two sides on then attach to the board. Works really well! But the real surprise I found out is that you can get full plastic skulls to do Euro's also! No mess or fuss. You just saw the horns off each side & grind them flat & screw to the plastic skull plate. I haven't tried one but it looks like an interesting idea. Just FWIW.... ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/04/full-55403-227163-euro_mount_skull.jpg)

How does it look in person? Could it pass as real?

I used one to replace a euro that was knocked off the wall and broke. It is not way close to real looking,

Spend the time and money and get it done right, real skulls are hard to beat, plastic looks like plastic, I've done skulls every way possible over the years, the real skull looks the best if you can save it. I've used real replacement skulls with shed horns, a little more work but well worth the trouble. DC

For mounting sheds these guys have a really good solution. I have used one and they are super stout. https://www.rack-hub.com/
