Antler Mounting without Skull Plate.....HELP
Hello Everyone, I NEED HELP! While I was out turkey hunting in NY this week, I came across a dead whitetail buck with 12pts.....This deer is ( or was) a gorgeous non-typical . The carcass was badly decomposed and eaten by predators, however, the antlers are in pristine shape! I couldnt leave them there so I cut them off on the spot. I couldnt get the skull plate because of the damage to the carcass. ( I tried first, then decided on taking just the antlers).......now I am having difficulty figuring out how I am going to mount them without the skull plate. I could really use some suggestions HELP!!!!!!!!!!!! (PS. the base of the antlers are 6 inches in diameter!!!!) Thanks everyone
