My wife heard me scream from the bedroom, but she wasn't that concerned because she just went back to sleep. She realized what had happened the next morning when she saw the deer head over in a chair. I had a huge bruise and knot right on my hip. I'm glad it didn't fall on my head.

Anyway, I had my heads hanging from drywall screws. They actually have a little shoulder to them which will allow the bracket to slide up the shoulder and off the screw. This deer had fallen once before.

I went to the hardware store and found some betters screws for the job. Have not had a problem since.

The screw in question was also a nice drywall type screw. I am wondering if maybe a hoop/hook bracket would be better. All of my ducks have those.....
