Title: New P&Y trophy display idea
Post by: Steve O on November 14, 2012, 11:48:00 AM
I have never found a way to display my P&Y certificates without them looking cheesy so I am always on the lookout to class things up.

Perusing the internet, I found a website that allows you to scan in a photo and have it printed on a bunch of different wood plaques. I tried it on one of my antelope certificates and think it turned out GREAT!

I keep 95% of my mounts and hunting memories in our basement.  The elk, caribou, and moose have to go up in the living room due to a good high ceiling.  I always miss having them with all the others so I made this for the basement on the wood photo website.

The guy that started this is a taxidermist in Wisconsin.  I hope he can get with P&Y, Compton, and B&C to give this option to guys when they enter their animals.  Until then, I will do it after the fact.  I really like the memory it creates.

That is really really cool. Would be even cooler if you could get that background printed on a skull mount plaque.

Looks really nice.  

I put mine in a photo album with the certificate on one page and an 8x10 photo of the animal (when I have one) on the facing page. Used to keep it on a bookshelf, but with 4 moves in the past 6 years, not sure where it is now.

Forgot the cost. $20-50 depending on size.  Cheaper than a decent frame.
