These are handmade wooden plaques for mounting your trophy horns. Can be sent as just the plaques for you to mount the horns yourself or horns can be sent and mounted then shipped back.

Try placing adds on gunbroker.com, a lot of hunters use gunbroker.com
Try one of your local gun shops to see if they'd let you sell the plaques on consignment, or maybe get the local butcher to post a flier in his shop about your plaque, local independant butchers often get game meat from hunters to butcher and wrap.

If it were me I would try to set up a web page and sell them directly yourself. I used to be an Ebay fan but they are ridiculous now with their inflated posting rates and skyrocketing shipping costs. You would be better off approaching this so you get the bigger percentage of money and not some web site that will get rich because of your efforts..Especially if you offer not only the mounts but the mounting service to mount them. I would also suggest you try and get a few displayed in local stores, already finished and advertise them that way too.
To be honest having two Gun Shops myself, even I would be interested in these, since the only things avaiable now are the "kits" that have the base plate with a piece of blue or red fake "velvet" to cover the base plates..They look "cheesey" to say the least and they retail for $35-40........There is most definately a market/need for your product, especially for those that might not have the money to pay a Taxidermist to do a head mount, but want to display their "trophy" rack regardless......Good Luck

Good advice so far.
For Ebay, make sure you have some very good photos to include of your product. Bad pictures just don't sell items.
Make some nice displays of your work and get some little metal signs made to go on them with your name and number. Go to gun shops, game processors and even some restaurants, etc and ask the owners if they would willing to display them. I know a guy that sells quite a few of his antler lamps just from one display in the waiting area at a local steak house.
