I've got a deer head that I'd like to hang in our living room but the spot it needs to go in doesn't have a stud behind the drywall. Is there a drywall anchor out there that will support that kind of weight or is it too risky?

Now they even make them with a driving point so you don;t have to drill the hole, just pound them in then turn the screwAngus Cowman":evnaq9or said:Thanks Dun I have learned something new todaydun":evnaq9or said:They're called mollysAngus Cowman":evnaq9or said:The ones I was thinking of are metal about the size of a quarter or a lil bigger on the outside and they come with their own screw and when you tighten them the back expands don't know what they are called but they work well is what they wife uses for her heavy stuff and my deer
