The present invention provides a modular mounting apparatus for displaying antlers, comprising a false animal head structure with a removable skull cap piece. The skull cap features at least a pair of openings housing ball bearings, allowing for rotational movement and adjustable orientation of the antlers. Mounting insert pins attached to each ball bearing enable secure attachment of the antlers to the apparatus. A detachable mechanism facilitates the easy connection and removal of the skull cap from the false animal head structure, enhancing the display's versatility and ease of use. This apparatus offers an innovative solution for the aesthetically pleasing display of antlers, allowing for customization and adjustment without the need for actual animal parts, aligning with contemporary design preferences and ethical standards.

Example implementations relating to mounting assemblies are disclosed herein, including in one example a skull mount having a substantially longitudinal bracing member and an engaging member comprising a curved portion configured to engage a portion of an animal skull such as a base of the brain cavity. One or more adjusting members adjustably position and secure the bracing member and the engaging member to securely engage and retain a skull of an animal therebetween by engaging the curved portion of the engaging member with at least a portion of the skull such as the brain cavity. A base assembly attached to a mounting surface is coupled to a connecting assembly removably coupling the bracing member and engaging member assembly to the base assembly, the connecting assembly comprising a pivot rod and a sleeve configured to receive and removably retain the pivot rod.

A decorative object assembly for attachment to a vertical surface includes a substantially planar decorative block defining an upper edge and a lower edge. A flexible planar strip is made of a thermoplastic polymer, and defines an upper edge parallel to the upper edge of the block, a lower edge parallel to the lower edge of the block, and a vertical direction between the upper and lower edges. A first layer of adhesive extends vertically downward from the upper edge of the strip, for releasable attachment to the vertical surface. An attachment mechanism for attachment to the decorative block is configured on a lower vertical section of the planar strip. A gap section of the strip is vertically located between the first layer of adhesive and the lower vertical section, on which no adhesive is adhered.

A turkey beard display and a method of displaying a turkey beard is provided. The method can include inserting a turkey beard into a body so that connective tissue of the turkey beard that is joined with a plurality of hairs passes by a plurality of arms projecting inward toward a longitudinal axis of the body such that the connective tissue passes by the plurality of arms to thereby enter an interior compartment. The arms can penetrate into and among the plurality of hairs to secure the turkey beard to the body.
