Thank you mrbb, I only have average household ceilings at the house. So with over 2 feet high antlers before being mounted and 51 inches wide takes away a lot of wall space. Also putting them in an area where they don’t get walked into. Those reasons makes it difficult to put up. But I have two places here. At my camp I have an area that wouldn’t be an issue with around 14 feet of wall space. I haven’t decided to keep them at the house or take them to camp later on. One thing that I don’t understand is they were measured at the tagging station and then by myself at 50 inches wide. When I took them to be scored after they had dried out they measured 51 inches wide. All I can think of is that when they dried they tipped back a little? I have always thought that they pulled in and shrunk somewhat. Oh well I am taking the 51 in spread that they are now..
