Anyone know of a good hanger for elk size skulls/racks? I'm going to hang mine about 12 feet high and I definitely don't want it to fall. The standard whitetail/mulie hangers don't look strong enough to trust.
They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

I use the “big” skull hooker.
Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

I use the “big” skull hooker. ditto, even got a 65" moose hanging on the same. So far it's holding although made me a little nervous when I first hung it.
Laws aren't preventative measures. In other words, more laws won't prevent gun crime from happening.

The big skull hooker holds a few of my bigger and heavier elk racks just fine. Hopefully this isn't too obvious, but make sure the screws are in a stud. I am amazed at how many people don't think about that kind of thing when hanging heavy pictures/mounts/whatever.

I like those. Price is reasonable too.

Those skull mounts look pretty cool . Knowing what I know of framing and such , if I had some elk and deer mounts to do now I would make a base out of a slab of cedar or some such beautiful wood that would span two to three studs (if aesthetically practical) to hang my mounts on. I have never liked the one stud suits all method , from experience.

Skull max.com hands down the best hanger out there. So many ways you can adjust it. Also once it’s clamped on it can’t fall off like a bunch of the other hangers. Take a look at them.
