What to do with a broken euro mount of a small buck

[philos]

I broke the right side of this small buck euro mount. I think it looks kinda neat this way but not sure how to make it work. It won't hang on a wall now but thinking of some kind of wauy to mount to a chunk of wood for a unique display. How would you guys work with this?

Is it sentimental to you? If not I’d throw it or cut it up for dog chews. If it is I’d just leave it as it is or do a skull cap on it.

Antlers and euro mounts are like books to me-I have a hard time throwing out stuff like this.

I don't think it looks too bad like that either. . . If you didn't like the look of it you could turn it into just a skull mount.
Maybe a block of wood with a slanted top and set the skull on top of it? Kind of like a pedestal mount.

Hey jayhawk-That's a great idea. Thanks!

Crazy glue it back together if you got the broken bone.

Buy a mountain mikes reproduction/shed kit for 35$. Bullet wrecked skull plate on wife’s buck. They are not perfect but take 10 minutes to set up and look decent .

Do some type of scene around it and make it look like a dead head

I took a super lopsided whitetail buck last year that wouldn't sit on any of the normal euro mounts I tried. I wound up ordering a TKMounts Euro Mount from Amazon. While it was overpriced, it's kept by euro in the same position for over a year now.

You can actually cut the horns off and put them onto another skull. My taxidermist does this for his skulls. He takes measurements of the horns to make sure they are positioned corre tly later, puts the skull in his bug pile and then reattaches the horns afterthe skull is clean.

Make a base like this and you can rotate the broken side of the skull away from view. I also have a mule deer that a follow up shot found his face, could have glued some of it back together, but it looks pretty interesting that way too. If the mount just fell and broke, a bit less interesting of a story.

I’m liking that. Thanks for sharing.

I just finished two white tail mounts that i mounted antlers onto outlaw skulls. Turned out awesome and was super easy to do, theres youtube tutorials on how to do it. They are a little pricy but the most realistic fake skulls out there imo.

Different type of "fix"- what about cutting them off and turning them into rattling antlers?

Got a pic of the back?

kabashoutdoors.com I've used these skull hooks and they work great. If back is not busted bad, it should work.

Your skull, display it as is there's always a story behind everyone, and enjoy.

The euro mount of my best buck fell and broke off a big chunk of the nose. I skull capped it, and I think I like it now more than I did before.

I like this idea, could end up looking really nice. Might could put it in a coffee table with a glass top over it to view from above.
