Axis Deer Shed Antler Mount Kit | Rack Lord

The Rack Lord is a 3D-printed skull mount built for axis deer, with the pedicle spread and angle that suit an axis rack's tall, three-tined sweep.

Axis are the one species nobody makes a proper mount for. Most euro mount kits are cut for whitetail geometry and leave an axis rack looking pinched or angled wrong. The Rack Lord is built to axis proportions from the start.

HOW THE BULLET LOCK WORKS

Two Bullet Lock connectors thread directly into the base of each antler. Interlocking gear teeth inside the skull's sockets let you rotate each antler independently and lock it at the angle you want. Axis antlers carry most of their length in a single long main beam, so getting the sweep symmetrical matters more than it does on a whitetail. If it's not right the first time, back it out and reset it. No glue, no permanent commitment.

Because the connectors screw into the antler itself, the system works the same for a naturally shed antler and one cut from a harvested buck.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

• 1x Rack Lord axis skull mount
• 2x Bullet Lock connectors

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

A saw to cut the antler bases flush, a drill with a 1/8" bit, and a driver. Plan on about 30 minutes start to finish. Full step-by-step instructions are in the installation guide.

ABOUT AXIS SHEDS

Axis don't follow the calendar the way native deer do. Because they're a tropical species that never fully adapted to a northern rut cycle, individual bucks run their own schedule, and you'll find hard-antlered and velvet bucks in the same pasture in the same month. That means axis sheds turn up year-round rather than in a tight winter window, and a matched set is harder to come by than the pile of singles most people end up with.

Texas exotic ranches hold the largest free-range axis population outside India, which is why most axis sheds in the country come off Hill Country property.

COMPARED TO A TAXIDERMIST EURO MOUNT

A traditional euro mount means boiling or beetling a real skull, degreasing, whitening, and mounting it. Done professionally that runs $200 to $300 and takes weeks. The Rack Lord is $69.99, ships in 24 hours, and works with sheds, which matters when you don't have the skull at all.
