What is a European mount? - A European Mount is the process of removing all of the skin, muscle and meat, down to the bone and cartilage on any animal skull.

What kind of skull can’t I send for mounting? - Animals that are head shot will not hold up during the cleaning process.

How long does it take to get my mount back? - This will depend on the condition of the skull when it arrives. All mounts will be done in the order that they are received. Average turn around time is 3 to 4 months.

Will there be a hanger on the back of my head?  - Yes, all mounts will have a hanger so your trophy may be displayed on the wall.

Can my European mount be scored (P&Y or B&C) when it is done?  - Yes, this is a huge advantage that beetle cleaned skulls have over a boiled skull. Boiling skulls causes bone shrinkage, to include the antlers, while there is no bone shrinkage related to beetles.

Can my European mount be mounted on a cape later, years down the road?  - Yes, this being another advantage to European mounting your trophy. Traditional head mounts only use the skull cap, which can be taken from a European mount, years later if so desired.

How much does a European mount cost?  - All European mounts are $75.00 plus shipping and handling both ways except all Elk are $100.00 plus shipping and handling both ways.  A deposit may be required 

Do I need my head / permit tag?  - Yes, tags are required. Any skulls received without proper permits will be returned to the owner, at the owners cost.
