Skull hooker?

[Kspence49]

Using the skull hooker big hooker to hang up my elk head and I’m torn on which size prong to use. The smaller prong cradles the knuckles at the base of the skull really well but the center prong doesn’t contact anything. The large prong seems to sit the head 100% on the center prong and the outer prongs reach the rear jaw bones for stability. Is it supposed to be 3 points of contact or is the small prong the right one and it’s intended to just cradle those knuckles?

I use whichever seems to fit better, usually the large. I do epoxy the prong to the skull if I am going to hang it on the wall. The Table Hookers, I don't bother with the epoxy.

I used the small prong on both our shiras moose. Just had to drill a hole where the X is marked and it worked perfectly!!

I've used the small and large for elk heads. You're right, neither sizes give a seemingly "perfect" fit with connections, but I haven't had issues with either. Basically determine the angle you want and then decide which size feels more secure.

Just checked them out…they put the skull flat against the wall, in an unnatural position.
Skull hookers are an entirely different mount.

Same here, large hooker and they’re all solid.
If you’re nervous, you could always wire the skull to the mount.
