European mounts

[Got_Bait]

I made a quick visit to the website and they have a special reproduction skull that preserves those things you are talking about - it's called the Record Keeper. Looks like you leave the antlers attached to enough of the skullcap that you dont' lose the angle or spread, then attach that to the plastic skull. You would only have to recreate the forward/backward angle of the antlers, which I think would be much easier - check it out.

I'm more sentimental I guess, I just like the idea of having the skull of the animal I killed in the mount. Nevertheless, it looks like it's a great alternative with much less work and mess.
