No problem. A few taxidermy supply places sell a shed antler mounting system that is adjustable for spread, angle and tip. Or you could go cheap and cut the horns off of a old skull plate and re-attache your sheds.

Also another cheap way is to buy a mountain mikes shed spreader. Takes some patience to get this right tho. Good trick ive used in mounting on these is to file and emery the burs to fit the shed spreader. After you drill your desired holes and mount them. Rotate and position them to where you want. Then use the putty it comes with or buy modeling putty to fill any gaps. Also looks nice is to take lamb leather strips(supple and soft) and use super glue or broadhead glue and wrap tight around under the bur and on the shed spreader. So you cant tell its a shed when u mount on a plaque. Rarely comes out perfect without a real taxidermist.but to the untrained eye it wont be noticeable.

This mount was done with a set of nice drops I found. 191 NTyp. 178 Typ.
Taxidermist supplied the cape.

A person can buy a molded deer skull to mount drops on too ..to look like a euro mount.

Or you could just throw them on your truck hood with some epoxy :)

I found them last spring laying side bye side in a field about a mile from my house, never have seen the deer. I'm going to get out this weekend and see if I can find his sheds from this year, hopefully he made the winter.

Shed Bed, a system for displaying sheds. Pretty cool idea alongside the mount of the buck that wore them.
