What do you do with your horns that are not on head mounts? I was thinking of making a bow hanger with a set of horns screwed into a piece of driftwood!

I saw some off and keep them laying around or hanging on nails. Some I stick on these little cheap plaques you can buy. Others I nail to a tree for the squirrels to gnaw on. I don't mount anything anymore. My biggest deer aren't mounted. I've also left a bunch of racks hanging in a hunting club in Georgia.

European mounts - boiled in strong solution of Borax for 4 hours, then off the car wash for the high pressure nozzle, finish with 24 hours in a strong Clorox bleach solution. Light spray paint coating of antique white. Hang around perimenter of shop. These look great.

As far as bucks go.... I don't shoot them unless they are worthy of the wall. If I want the meat or am just itching to shoot something, I will shoot a doe.

I have head mounts, plaque mounts, loose antlers and skull mounts but I do have everyone of them.
