The hardest part (which isn`t hard) is you have to cut skull plate on deer horns etc. to right size for this skull mount.After that it`s 1 screw & done.It`s 15 times easier than mounting deer horns on the wood plaque if you had ever bought one of those mounting kits.I definately like these metal skull mounts much more than wood plaque deer horn mounting kits as it`s just so much easier & I think the finished deer horns metal skull mount looks pretty good also.
