A successful hunt is full of memories, and one of the best ways to preserve these memories is to mount your antlers if you are skilled or lucky enough to harvest a nice buck. Other ways of preserving your hunting memories include a hunting photo album, a special hunting photo mounted on a plaque, a slide show of the favorite hunt pictures, and many other personalized products preserving the special moments of your hunt.

Antlers are true bone and different from horns. Antlers are renewed each year, and with age the antlers increase their size, points and mass. Bucks need to live to be at least three years of age or even better five years to have well developed antlers. There is a story behind every buck a hunter harvests, and mounting these horns will preserve those memories.

There are several unique ways to mount your horns. There is a traditional mount that is basically the horns and the top half of the deer skull mounted to a plaque. The skull cap is usually covered with leather like fabric and fixed tightly to the mount with screws. A European mount is prepared of the whole skull with the horns boiled clean with the entire skull and horns mounted to the plaque.

A great way to celebrate your hunt is through a good sportsman's photo album. There are wooden, Leather and vinyl photo albums that will save your best memoirs of your Hunt for years and generations of new hunters.
