HOW DO I TRANSPORT DEER HEADS IN A 14 FOOT TRAILER TO SHOWS ?

Buy several sheets of 1/2 plywood. Screw the deer heads to the sheet of plywood (it's simple enough to use 2 inch drywall screws through the plywood into the backboards of the mounts. When you have a sheet filled with them, lay them flat on the floor of your trailer and then run a few one inch screws through the sheet into your trailer floor.

 

You can do like George mentioned. Or the way I do it is the same concept as Georges but I just attach a piece of plywood to each mount and then screw down to the floor. I will see if I can find a picture of one of our deliveries to show you.

 

What if you built a 2x4 frame inside of the trailer,,, up the walls across the roof ,,, across the floor so you have some solid 2x4 against the outside walls that would not move AND Then did what George said screw mounts to plywood and THEN plywood to the 2x4. That way you would still have FLOOR space to put things.

I do have to say I have never done this but I think it would work.. as long as you used plenty of screws. maybe tie the racks to the 2x4 on the top going across..
just in case .

Use this hanger. Line the deer along the wall and then screw One 2x4 over their backs to keep them from jumping out of the slots. Simply unscrew the 2x4 that holds them down and lift off each deer. You can buy extra female receptacles to permanently attach to your display.

 

That's a darn good idea, Joey.

 

Cut the plywood larger then the back of the deer mount, attach to the deer and screw the overhanging plywood to the floor or stud wall, that's how I do it.

 

Look up E trac. Its a great system, you can strap things in place. Make a second shelf with 2X4s and 1/2 inch plywood.

 

That would keep them from jumping off the hanger, but they would still be able to move and possibly cause damage. I would rather screw them in solidly.
