Antler Mounting Kits
Decided to mount the antlers from the 6pt I got up in 2E to go at my parent's camp (can't have a camp without some antlers, right?). I don't have the spare cash, or the desire, to get a head and shoulder mount done for a 6pt, and I'm not crazy about the european skull mounts. There seems to be quite a few kits on the market for antler mounts, but most of them have pretty low reviews. I want to save money, but a kit that only costs 10 bucks just sounds, well, cheap. I would think the materials cost in wood and some decent felt would cost more than that. Anyway, looking for some input. Has anyone done a do-it-yourself antler mount in the last few years? Suggestions on brands, techniques, advice?
I looked at some local taxidermy sites, and none even advertise antler mounts, maybe they don't make money off them? Thanks in advance guys.
