Help with mounting antlers

[looking for help]

Hi. Long story short: I found a pair of antlers from a buck that my father shot a long time ago, and didn't have time to get them mounted before he died 15 years ago. I was with him on the trip so I wanted to put the antlers on a plaque, but have absolutely no idea where to go for this service. I live in the Tempe area in Phoenix, and i would like advice on a shop to go to or something to get this done inexpensively.

Bass Pro offers a few do it yourself options. They are pretty cheap with easy to follow instructions.

You can get a mounting kit at WalMart that will allow you to mount either on a wall or let it sit on a desk.

 

Do you have the full skull on this buck or just the antler plate?

I've used the kits from Wal-mart and Sports Authority a couple times for my small 2x2 and 2x2.5 they turned out rather well I think. If you have a dremel it makes it easier, but a hacksaw will do just fine also when you are cutting the skull cap down.

It is a set of elk antlers but maybe they could point you in the right direction.

or this one is actually deer antlers.

If you like the euro option might try this.

Not sure it would look right for a coues, but I want to try some of his stuff for elk and muleys.

Get a hold of Scottyboy from this site. He is in Tucson, and will do your horns nice and fine or ya.

Those are pretty badass idea I think. Have you seen any of them in person? I saw Cabelas was one of their sellers so a trip over there may be in order. I have an old, old muley set from the late 70s I think that my great great grandfather shot. The skull cap broke off leaving me with a problem set to mount. I may give them a try also.
