Detachable Horns & Antlers

Detachable horns and antlers provide a convenient way to safely handle, ship, or hang taxidermy mounts. In most cases, a square, steel peg system is used to connect the horns to the animal. This system makes both attaching and removing the horns or antlers simple and effortless, while remaining accurate and precise, for a perfect fit, every time. Careful attention to detail is applied when implementing this system into any of our taxidermy mounts, ensuring that every angle, tilt, and spread remain the same after being attached. No item will ever be detached or altered in order to increase its spread, score, or general appearance. When possible, we always try to make our horns detachable, adding value and convenience for our customers. The exception for us not making horns and antlers detachable comes when the animal reaches record book size, at which point both collectors and record-keeping organizations require the horns or antlers to be original and unaltered in any way.

Animal Description

About the Alaskan Yukon Moose (Alces alces gigas)

The Alaskan Yukon Moose is a subspecies of the moose and can be found from Alaska to the western Yukon Territory. It is the largest of the moose subspecies. They inhabit boreal forests and deciduous forests. Most of the time, they will be by themselves but will sometimes form small herds. The Alaskan Yukon Moose will typically only come in contact with another moose during the mating season when males compete with each other for breeding rights. Bulls (males) use their antlers to fight to help determine which one is dominant. Moose eat vegetation and shoots from trees. Bulls can weigh over 1,400 pounds, while cows (females) can weigh up to 1,055 pounds.
