Best Hunting Trophy Mounts of 2026

"I used this kit to mount a set of horns after my husband shot a 7-point buck. The plaque is solid wood and the kit was handy for DIY mounting. We now have another trophy on display in our porch!"

"This is a pretty good kit for the price. Getting the antlers secured tightly took a little effort, but mounting them was straightforward. The hardest part was trimming the plastic cover, but using one as a template helped. I'm happy with how it turned out overall."

"After shooting a small buck, I wanted a budget way to display the antlers. This kit gets the job done, but up close it looks pretty cheap and the plastic covers are very thin. Mounting the antlers took some trial and error, and I had to use double-sided tape instead of the provided Velcro. Still, for $12, it works."

"I've tried several skull hangers, but this one is the most secure and easiest to use. The side prongs really keep the skull in place, unlike other hangers that let it tilt or require drilling. From now on, I'm sticking with this style."

"After moving to a new house, I needed a hanger that didn't stick out too far from the wall. This one is perfectly sturdy and tucks my pronghorn mount up nicely. The angle is just right and the build quality is excellent—clean welds, even finish, and subtle appearance. I trust it completely for my once-in-a-lifetime mount."

"I've bought a few of these for my deer mounts and love how solid and snug they are—no wiggle or looseness at all. They really give my trophies a great display."

"I've never mounted a skull before, but with this product, installation was a breeze—even without any tools. The instructions were clear and it sat at just the right distance from the wall, easily fitting my ram skull with large horns. Being able to adjust the direction perfectly is a huge plus."

"After trying a cheaper option that didn't work well, I decided to spend a bit more and got this one. Definitely money well spent—it's sturdy, well-made, and I really like that I can rotate the skull side to side. Much better quality than the alternatives."

"I've bought three of these for my mounts and each one has been reliable and flawless in use. They look great, arrived on time, and exceeded my expectations. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them."

"I'm thrilled with how solid and durable this mount is. It was super simple to install, and the antler-shaped design really gives my trophy wall a rustic vibe. The adjustable height made it easy to get the perfect display angle. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting a reliable hanger!"

"After mounting a deer skull, I did notice it wouldn't always stay put, but with a little tweaking—bending the metal for a snugger fit—it worked just fine. It's a good product, but you might have to make some small adjustments depending on your skull."

"I tried using this hanger for my European mounts, but unfortunately, the skulls kept slipping off and wouldn't stay secured. Even after double-checking the setup, I still had trouble. For me, it just didn't fit my needs."

"I got this for my husband’s deer mounts and he was absolutely thrilled. The mount is well-made, sturdy, and looks great on the wall. I’ll definitely buy more for future trophies!"

"This mount is perfect for euro mounts, keeping the skull firmly in place so it doesn’t move around. Super happy with how it works!"

"Installation was simple and the mount looks good on the wall. Just make sure you pay attention to the drill bit size since it’s not included."

"I was searching for a way to hang my husband’s European deer mounts and these brackets turned out to be absolutely perfect. The skulls stay steady on the wall and the price is unbeatable."

"After months of use, this skull mount has proved to be very simple to install and extremely stable. I love the modern look with its black finish and the way the antlers seem to float at the ideal angle."

"The only thing I wish is that the hooks were just a bit longer. They’re a tad short, so it can feel tricky to hang heavier items securely, but otherwise it’s a solid product."

"I found it super easy to install and loved that it comes with three different plate sizes. The final look is very professional, and the kit is definitely a good value. I would absolutely buy it again."

"The Mountain Mikes kit made it much quicker and simpler to create a mount compared to prepping a real skull. The artistic dipped version adds a special touch, making it perfect for memorable occasions like a child's first hunt. The instructions are decent, but I highly recommend watching the video for extra guidance. It's a versatile and affordable option that looks great on the wall."

"I was able to mount my antlers in just 15 minutes without the mess of boiling a skull. The process was straightforward, and the end result looks fantastic. This is a great solution for anyone wanting an easy, attractive mount."

"I was looking for a way to mount my buck without spending a fortune at the taxidermist. This kit was simple to use and the outcome exceeded my expectations. I’ll definitely use it again for future mounts."

"The wood quality is outstanding and the instructions were clear. I liked being able to pick from different wood finishes. The whole process was straightforward and my trophy looks fantastic on the wall."

"I’ve bought several of these kits and they’re always easy to work with. The real walnut plaque is a nice touch, and mounting only took about half an hour. I’m planning to get more for my next projects."

"I was impressed by the heavy-duty build and extra length of these mounts—they really keep my skulls secure. The angle is a bit more outward, so if you’re stacking mounts, just be aware the racks might bump into each other. Still, they’re easy to install and hold up tight!"

"Honestly, for the price, these mounts are hard to beat. Sturdy and stable on the wall—they’re exactly what I needed for my euro mounts. Simple to put up, and they keep my displays looking sharp."

"The brackets themselves are well-made and durable, but I’d recommend using your own screws and anchors since the ones provided aren’t great. That’s the only thing holding me back from a perfect rating."
