Thanks to Xculler and Xculler_Jnr for making this shield to display my son Zion's first deer.

It's a special head for Zion, being his first deer, and for me being there when he shot it. But it doesn't justify a proper taxidermy job. So these shields are an excellent means of ensuring those 'special' trophies don't get relegated to the old antler tree!

Thanks again Xculler & Jnr ... it's really added to Zion's experience and occupies a prime position on the lounge wall    Cool  Smiley

I like just the bone type mounts on nice native or even without. Keep it simple.
Good on ya Zion.

Here's a couple of XCuller's shield mounts. Again, they have special value, but not enough to justify a full taxidermy job:
