Decided it was time to get last year's deer on the wall. Picked up a Mountain Mike's Euro skull wall bracket. Installed as per the included instructions. Came back later to find my 185 mule deer mount lying on the floor in pieces! Needless to say, just a bit ticked off right now. So be warned, apparently these brackets are crap.

Did the whole bracket come out from the wall or did the bracket fall apart?

Tightened the set screw that holds the mount in position but B.C. antlers must be heavier than California ones. The mounting pin moved forward and the skull fell off. It has a ball pivot in the bracket. No way to get it tighter. It just couldn't hold the weight.

That is brutal, sorry to hear. I'll add another plug for the skull hooker, a litttle expensive for what you get but I have no fear of mine coming apart.

Cheers,
Brad

Others might chime in here but Steelpulses mt goat fell off a cliff, he was told to use modeling clay that sets solid to rebuild the skull. Then a bit of touch up paint.

I have a bull on a skull hooker...wobbly as f@$k but it wont fall..due to the fact its going i to the brain hole at an upward angle....far from rock solid.

How wobbly is your mulie?
