Description
Display your trophy antlers with pride using our handcrafted shield antler plaque, made from premium solid hardwood. Designed with both rugged beauty and long-lasting durability in mind, this plaque is perfect for any hunter, taxidermist, or outdoor enthusiast looking to create a professional-quality antler taxidermy plaque display. Whether it’s your first buck or your biggest trophy yet, this is the plaque that helps tell your story.
The shield shape has long been a classic design for antler, skull cap mounts and shoulder mounts, offering a refined look that complements any antlers. Our shield taxidermy mount plaque is ideal for whitetail deer, mule deer, and other big game. It provides the perfect backdrop to show off your mount while enhancing the visual appeal of your wall display. The silhouette adds sophistication to any setting—whether it’s your trophy room, home office, rustic cabin, or hunting lodge.
Each hardwood antler mounting plaque is created by hand to bring out the natural grain and unique character of the wood. We offer a range of hardwood options, including oak, walnut, maple, and reclaimed barnwood. These rich materials ensure a durable base that won’t warp or crack over time and will preserve your mount for years to come. The burnt finish not only looks stunning—it adds contrast to the display, making it a standout piece that enhances the visual impact of your trophy.
Plaques are available in a variety of sizes, ranging from 9×12 inches up to 20×24 inches. This range allows you to choose the perfect fit based on the size of your mount. 9×12 is ideal for most whitetail antler mounts, while our larger sizes work well for shoulder mounts or larger game animal antlers. Whether you’re working with a smaller rack or an oversized trophy, our size options ensure you get the right look and proportions for your mount.
What truly sets our plaques apart is our commitment to craftsmanship and customization. Each solid hardwood antler display plaque includes a heavy-duty metal hanger, making it easy to hang securely. Each piece is handcrafted in our shop in the USA by skilled craftsmen. Our craftsmen are also hunters and outdoorsmen, so they know just how important a beautiful, quality display plaque is for your prized trophy.
We’ve built this antler taxidermy plaque with both professional and DIY taxidermists in mind. Whether you’re mounting the plaque yourself or giving it to a taxidermist, our design ensures it’s easy to work with and made to impress. The durability of solid hardwood combined with handcrafted quality makes it a favorite among hunters and taxidermists across the country (and around the world!).
This plaque also makes a fantastic gift for anyone who enjoys the outdoors, hunting, or rustic home décor. Customers often purchase these for display in man caves, cabins, and hunting lodges. It’s a statement piece that honors the hunt and showcases the outdoorsman’s lifestyle.
