I’ve been saving my deer racks for many years. I was going through my stash and noticed I have 6 individual spike horns. I want to mount each of these horns to a brick wall to use as hangers. How can I screw these antlers into a brick wall? Keep in mind that these are single horns not a rack.

Edit: do they make something out there that I can screw into the antler then screw into the brick wall?

Do they make a dowel screw that will screw into a brick wall? Or do I need some kind of anchor?

Use a lead anchor on the brick to accept the dowel screw

I have them for hand towel hangers in a guest bathroom; I used a copper pipe strap. You’d still need to use a brick anchor but it still looks sorta rustic and they don’t spin. If you just drill one hole you’ll need to snug it down to keep it from rotating.

Something like this.

Buy these.

Cut the hex head off, drill hole in antler and use 2 part epoxy to epoxy the end you cut the head off of, into the hole.

Drill hole in brick and screw in.

You can use 2 part epoxy to secure the screw into the antler and the brick. You may want to set the screw in the brick first. Drill a hole for the screw to go in, set the screw with the epoxy. Let it set for at least 24 hours.
