Hanging Euro Mount (no stud available)

[coloyooper]

Anybody have luck hanging an elk euro without a stud to screw into? Wife wants to hang a skull in the dining room but the closest stud is about 8” off center. I’m not huge on using drywall anchors but don’t really have another choice. Anybody have luck with the heavy duty anchors? I suggested hanging it in the garage but she is adamant about keeping it inside. Gotta love her for that anyway. I should also add she wants to stay away from mounting to a plaque even though that would help distribute weight better.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Use heavy duty toggle anchors

A 300" 6X6 euro weighs around 20lbs. Use a good anchor installed correctly and you should be fine. I have three skull hookers (two screws/anchors) in drywall and they are solid even with the weight being probably 8-10" off the wall. I use these and have never had any issues.
