I found 2 bucks a 10 pt and a 12 pt locked together dead last week. Called the CO and he came and verified and tagged them. Now I'm looking for suggestions on mounting.
What say you?

I would take them to Dean Stallion at American Taxidermy in Boonville. I know that he has done mounts of locked deer before and might possibly have some pictures in the shop.

There really is no other suggestion on a locked mount. You are going to be limited due to the way they are locked and also how much room you will have on the wall to display them. I am sure if you google locked antlers you can find some ideas but they are all going to be pretty much the same. The options are shoulder mount or lifesize mount. Lifesize will be very expensive and take up alot of room in a trophy room. Sounds like it will make a neat mount though no matter what you choose to do.

Ever think of doing a European mount on them. It would look cool on a pedestal mount or maybe just sitting on a coffee table.

Best of luck and thanks for the picture, shoulder mounts would be my choice.
