Got my deer back from the Taxidermist. Can I hang it in drywall?

BeDawg · Apr 19, 2014

So my taxidermist did a fantastic job on my Utah buck.

This is my first mount. My question is, can you hang one of these in dry wall? I live in a super small house and the area I want to hang it in is between two wall studs. There is so-little wall space in my pad that I really don't have more options if I want it to look good. Please help. Do you have experience hanging these mounts with toggle bolts in drywall or anything else? Thanks, I don't want to wreck my mount or hurt anyone.

Wow, what a buck! Congrats. Go to your local hardware store and buy a pack of the expandable drywall screws. There are several different shapes and sizes. They work slick.

can use a easy anchor if you cant find a screw. Nice mount

here they are. I like the metal ones.

Thanks guys, decided to get the second strongest drywall anchors I could find at Home Depot.

They are rated for 110 pounds in drywall. The next step above was 300 pound drywall anchors. I will have to use those ones if this does not work.

Here is a pic of my finished product
