    Hey all. I just finished whitening a buck skull I found in the woods. I was just looming for some ideas on how to mount a skull to the wall. If anyone has some tips or instructions could you post them? I can't find any simple ones.

    I just buy the Skull Hooker brackets. They are quick and easy, adjustable, and they look pretty cool IMO. Kind of spendy at $40 each though

    Skull hookers by far the cleanest way to display euro skulls.

    I watch online for them periodically to go on sale and stock up when price dips to $20-25 each from the retail $40 to make them easier to stomach.

    I just drilled a pilot hole into the wood and the base of the skull where its nice and thick. Then just used a small screw and it seems to be holding just fine.

    I either put them directly to the wall or use a homemade plaque.

    I got a simple way. Just used a hook that I screwd into the wall. Ties some 550 cord through natural bone holes and hung it on the hook.
