If you want to keep your antlers intact with the original skull plate, the Bone Collector Record Keeper is the antler kit for you. This skull features a small space at the back of the skull for you to attach your own antler skull plate. Kit includes all hardware, epoxy, and touch-up paint needed for a great, do-it-yourself European antler mount that won't sacrifice record book qualifications. The elk model allows you to utilize the actual skull plate from your bull so you can maintain record book status.
