Alternatives to Wall Mounting Euro Mounts

One of the guys here in Germany has a galvanized bucket he filled with concrete about 6 feet tall and he has skull-hookers bolted to it. He has about 10 or 12 skulls on it.
I have a friend who did the same thing. He took a 6" cedar log cut from his backyard and screwed a few 2x4's to the bottom as a base, he now has multiple game heads hanging off the pole. No holes in the wall.
 
I made these 2 from cedar posts. I have maybe $50 in them since I scavenged the posts for free. Could also be done with 4x4 posts

Sorry. Reading comprehension. Thought it was just ideas for euros.
 
The skull hooker tree is great for the smaller heads. I have a gemsbuck on the bottom of one of mine but you need a bigger hook than what comes with the tree. A regular skull hooker hook purchased separately. Works great and enough weight in the base to keep it steady.

That's where I was thinking of using a 4x4 cedar post that has had the edges trimmed. Then for the base I was thinking of using cedar 2x4's screwed to the 4x4.

In the end it should be quite sturdy for the mounts.

The Skull Hooker tree was just a idea that a person could work from

At Kalahari Safari, the Small Things Are the Big Things
The thrill of the stalk. The stillness of the wait. The age-old rhythm of the hunt.
It’s not just about the size of the trophy. It’s about the stories that will be told for years.
We believe the memories are the true prize. The small things are the big things.
And we’re proud to offer a hunting experience that honours exactly that.

Not sure your price range. Have a 375 H&H with a muzzle brake. Nice rifle only fired a few times. Also a Mossberg 375 Ruger its been used and shows a few hunts on it.
