What do you do with your deer antlers / skulls - 10/25/10 10:01 PM

Hey guys I was wondering what all of you do with your deer heads after you have killed them? I know there are a lot of do it yourself hunters out there so I thought I would show you guys how to mount you deer skull to a plaque.

Tools

Drill
Screwdriver
Toggle Bolt
Plaque

Here are the tools that you will need




Next if your plaque does not have a pre-drilled hole for a screw, align your skull on the plaque to see where you like it.



Then Drill hole into skull with drill bit. Use a pilot hole first then use the 3/8 inch for the toggle bolt.





Then put the toggle bolt through the plaque





Push the toggle bolt through the hole that you drilled into the skull, and tighten the screw. make sure the toggle portion of the bolt is flush into the back of the skull





Make sure skull is straight on the plaque and enjoy!

The plaque is quite popular. It is made out of old barnwood material.
