A question

[BigBuckShooter]

I have a few questions for some of the taxidermists that are on here. I just found a nice set of mule deer sheds that I would like to put on a reproduction skull. Has anyone had any experience with these? I was looking at getting the one out of Mckenzie. What should I use to attatch theantlers to the pedicles? Also the antlers were either last years or the year before sheds so they are extremely bleached. There are also some cracks that I will be filling in with apoxie sculpt. What is the best stain to use to get the antlers to a realistic color? I appreciate anyones feedback. Thank-you.

McKenzie also has the base for attatching the horns to anything else, a base, a mount, a horn mount etc they also have the stains you will need.

Rich is right. There are better ways of filling the cracks but they are time consuming and somewhat expensive but you also get better quality. McKenzies also sells a full skull that you just mount the horns to , via drilling into the horns and epoxying a rod into, then doing the same to the skull. A little sculpt aroung the base of the dorns and your good to go.
