    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I've done a few sets over the years - I have a whole series of them from when I was a youngster and getting into any game bigger than rabbits.
    Used to leave the horns for a long time so they slipped off the bone - then packed them with salt to get the gunk out - then spray them with clear coat and make wooden 'stubs' on a board to mount them all up on.

    However of recent years I shot a couple of big heads over 30" - capped the skull, left the horns to rot out, did the salt again, but this time boiled the skull cap and sealed with clear coat, glued the horns back on and mounted to a couple of log rounds - looks pretty nice in the garage! Mrs won't allow them in the house

    As others have said, shoot another, cap it and use your horns on the new skulls bases. As for what to mount that to, I can't advise! I'm not so keen on the shield shape.
    @thejavelin would you care to post some pictures? I'd be keen to see!
