Abstract: An adjustable mounting bracket for mounting a skull of an animal onto a wall. The mounting bracket is adjustable so that the angle of the skull can be changed, so that the skull can be rotated from side to side, and so that the stinger that secures the skull to the mounting bracket can be lifted off of the base of the mounting bracket without removing the base from the wall. Each side of the stinger has a pointed stabilizer for engaging the skull to hold it firmly to the stinger. The base can be made in a variety of shapes and designs. One design has a base with an opening therein that forms a picture frame. Adjustment of the mounting bracket does not require any tools. The stinger is removable from the base to facilitate marketing, packaging and distribution and to make it easier to attach a skull.

Abstract: A hide puller for skinning an animal with telescoping upright support member that is retractable for storage. The puller mounts on a truck hitch receiver. A pulley system with movable mounting bracket attached on an upper end of the support member and wings provided on a lower end of the upright support member. Button and loop fasteners are employed for securing the animal's hide to one end of the support member via either the mounting bracket or the wings and means for securing the animal's carcass to the opposite end of the upright support member via either the wings or the mounting bracket. A cable is attached to the pulley system and attached to means for retracting and releasing the cable to raise and lower the mounting bracket relative to the wings to remove hide from the carcass. A hunter's gambrel may substitute for the movable mounting bracket.
