When mounting heavy stuff on a wall it is only prudent to find the stud.
Especially if you are in an actve seismic area. Things are apt to shake here in Cali, so I screwed an L -shaped bolt into the stud and milled a slot into the rear of my mount. When the Big One comes, the head will have to hop just so for it to come off the bolt. Or so I hope...

As I am settling into a new residence with an 11' room, I am planning to wall mount some heavier trophies. I prefer studs and have looked at the Timber-Loc system which appears to be well thought out. But I want to see what others here are using for the heavier mounts - my elk weighs 27 #'s. Thanks in advance. I use the Timber-Loc mount which is top notch. You won’t regret using those. Is Timber-loc even in business? Their website is terrible. No photos of mounts mounted to the wall, no testimonials from clients. Any articles is the owner advising product is available. Website was last updated in 2016. I'd be cautious sending them money.
