How to Mount Single Shed Antlers: Display Ideas for Deer and Elk

If you’re anything like me, you’ve got a few antlers that never reunited with their match. You remember where you found them, maybe even the exact hike or hillside—but now they’re sitting in a pile, tucked away, or leaning awkwardly on a shelf.

That’s exactly why I created Buck Bracket. I wanted a better way to display shed antlers—especially singles—in a way that looked clean, secure, and realistic. I didn’t want to hang them from twine or leave them lying around. I wanted a system that let me proudly show off those finds and swap them out whenever I felt like a change.

Today, we’ve got some solid options for anyone looking to mount a single deer or elk antler. Here’s how to do it right.

Antler Anchor Shed Mount

The Antler Anchor is one of the simplest and strongest ways to mount a single shed antler. It’s minimal, sturdy, and built to hold even the biggest whitetail or mule deer antlers. Just attach our Skull Snap system to the base of the antler, then snap it into the wall-mounted bracket. It takes less than a minute and gives your shed a clean, upright display with a floating look.

Perfect for anyone looking to clean up their antler pile and turn it into wall art.

Half Skull Single Antler Display

Looking for something more realistic? The Half Skull is made from detailed 3D scans of an actual deer skull, giving you a lifelike European mount—without needing the matching antler.

This half-skull design shows off the side profile of the deer’s head with impressive detail. Like all our systems, it uses the Skull Snap for quick setup. The included wall hanger makes installation fast and foolproof—no measuring, no guesswork. Snap in your antler and you’re done.

Great for creating a clean, professional look with a single shed.
