I used one like this on the big two point that I got a few years ago. Just an idea.

I've posted this before, but here's a Diorama I did for my brother.
You could easily add some legs to the base of the Diorama and turn it into an end table too.
I've also seen people use a set of sheds as the base to hold the skull off the wall. Sorry no pic but it looks cool.

Yes I just picked up a piece of dead sagebrush and pulled some desert grasses out. The brown "ground" that you see is rock mix from Trufitt taxidermy supply. It comes with powdered dyes so you can mix the color from anything from white to black for your base. I spread the rock mix on chicken wire mesh. While it was still wet I stuck the grasses into the wet mix.Coloradobuck wrote:NotEnufTags i really like that idea and might do somethin similar to that. that is really cool. did you use like real sage and grass or what
Here's a pic of the base before I put the rock mix on.

I don't remember the exat cost. It was under $20. I think it was in the $14 - $16 range.Coloradobuck wrote:awesome i will have to look into that how much does that mix cost?
