Default Hanging deer mount with no stud: need advice...

Hi guys/girls,

I need some advice on how to hang my deer mount. The spot I need to put it unfortunately doesnt have a stud behind it. Without going into too much detail, in order to center the mount perfectly in a 42" peice of wall it will leave my mount sitting directly between two studs. I know I would be breaking a cardinal rule of always hanging mounts into studs, but has anybody hung one on just drywall. If so, which drywall screws/setups would you recommend to support the weight and avoid the mount plunging to the floor taking a piece of wall with it? This wall is also an external wall with fiberglass insulation backing so that may eliminate some options.

If using a stud is my only option, im able to move the mount 6-8 inches to one side, but im trying to avoid this option because it doesnt look as perfect.

Your help will be greatly appreciated,

Thanks,
Brennen
