Default Moose euro finally done

It took a while and a lot of boiling and scraping but the skull is done and I finally settled with the barn wood back stop

Nice. I like the backstop. How did you connect the skull to backstop?

Thanks guys!

I took a large chunk of 1/2" threaded t
Road put a bit on one end and a large washer with the sides cut off of it and got it through the hole going to the brain cavity then turned it somit coudl not come out and did another washer and nut on the other side sandwiching the skull took a chunk of pipe that fit over the nut and cut it on the angle that was needed . Drilled a hole on the same angle and put a steal backing plate and another nut and washer and sucked it up tight then screwed the whole thing to the studs on the wall haha... kinda complicated to type out wish I took more pics of the prosses

Looks real nice, thanks for posting.

I did my first elk last spring in a Euro(first try ever) and loved how it turned out, I really regret sawing out my biggest moose to date a few years back and not doing a Euro on it. Moose look so cool with the big nose. It really isn't much work doing a Euro, just need time.
