I cut the biggerknots off of western larch trees when getting firewood or while logging. Usinga chainsaw I slice the knots about 1/4to 1/2 inch thick and use them to attach antlers too.

Good post! I am not a fan of the mas produced antler mount kits either(basspro, cabelas).

Shed and deerslayer, great backing panels! Anyone cover the skull with anything homemade i.e. deer skin, felt? Let see some pics.
