    Ok here is the situation that I am in! I have 4 sheds off of my buck that I killed this season. I am wanting to mount my buck with the sheds and possibly the fence post. I am not sure if the pedestal would hold the weight of the post and my deer. I want to put down some grass and other stuff on the pedestal to give it a better look. With the pedestals that I have attached pictures of I could mount the two single sheds on the bottom and the match set with the post and my deer on the top. What do you all think? Any ideas are welcome or even if I am trying to put to much into it! Also, how do you attach the grass, branch's, leaves, rocks, etc to the pedestal so they stand up or stay on the pedestal?

    steven, look into it, but there should be a pedestal form that will allow the deer to look like he is rubbing his antlers on the fence posts, then I would keep it simple and clean and just have the sheds lying on the ground below, arranged some how. you can add some grass around the sheds too slightly hide them. either way it is a good idea with the sheds!

    Rubbing on the fence post would be a sweet mount to have, I have never seen one like that

    what you might want to look into doing is just using the top of one of the pedestals shown as your base, then you could attach the fencepost to the base and mount your deer on top of the fencepost. You could put the grass (and possibly snow?) and antlers on the ground at the base of the fence post. ill try to find some pictures to show you what imean.
