Have a deer head that I am trying to mount on to a base, can you please share mounting options for deer sized game on a base

Van Dyke's or McKenzie sell pedestals of all types. Here's links to the floor pedestals, but they also sell table mounts as well.

Is your deer head already mounted and you are now wanting to make it into a pedestal? Or are you in planning stages still?
The way I often use is to drill a 1” inch hole into the form as far as you can. Then drill the same bit into your base. A one inch dowel or pipe can then be used to attach the two together.
Shop auger bit or a long spade bit (mine has a long extension adapter) will get you there.
Not sure of your specifics but that’s one option. I lifted this one up a bit so you can see what I’m trying to wxplain

I had a wall pedestal blesbok, I wanted to put it on a table top pedestal. I ordered a termite mound from Mckenzies , it came with a 3/4” steel tube so just drilled a hole in the tube and attached a bolt and hung the mount on the bolt. When I get home I can take pictures if needed, I thought it worked out well.

We need to know if it has already been mounted or is in the planning stages for a mount.

You can also build one yourself. Had a good friend build one for his son after it was originally built as a wall hanger.
