Yea sorry. Didn't use actual glue. Set (6) 5
4inch screws and foamed them in with concrete foam. Then let it sit for 30 min, then formed the foam.
 
They're much bigger than you expect. Mine was 6' from chest to tip of the antler and stuck out almost 5'.

I was talking about the taxidermied head. Was very fortunate to kill that animal on the edge of a field. Drove the truck right up to him. But the 2 of us couldn't lift him in the bed of the pickup. Dragged him to a depression in the field. When the truck dipped down, it shortened the distance from the ground to the tailgate.
