Default First attempt at mounting

This was my first year taking a deer and I thought that being my wife won't allow a full mount that I'd have to try mounting the horns on a plaque. It turned out alright...especially being that I have no clue what I'm really doing!! I'm going to get a small brass plate below the horns indicating the date and location of the shot.

You should have done a shoulder mount of that guy and hung it in the bedroom. ITOLD my boyfriend that's where my pronghorn is going to go!!! no ifs, ands, or buts about it!

Looks good! is that a kit or did you make that yourself? It looks like leather covering the skull plate.
