Barbary Mount Question

live4muleys · Feb 2, 2015

How big would a barbary have to be for you guys to be willing to pay for a mount? Thanks

I did a lifesize of my 34 incher.

i got a wall pedestal on my 33" ram i killed two years ago. I would mount anything over 30"

I'd be very tempted with anything 27+.

If its a trophy in your eyes, mount it! No one else's opinion really matters.

EXACTLY! Don't worry what others think or scores. Good luck!

For me, it comes down to whether I like looking at it. If I do, I'm going to memorialize it in some way...

So I was able to get one down. I was super excited about getting this awesome animal and I am hooked for life on these guys. This was my first time putting in and first time going. The night before I shot this guy was the first time I had even seen one in person. I had decided that I would not mount one unless he was 27 inches and he fell short of that. I still struggled with weather to or not and finally decided to just do a European mount on him. Hopefully I don't regret this decision in 15 years when I have only drawn one other time and wasn't able to find another, but hopefully that won't be the case. I feel very fortunate to be able to get one my first year. I had a blast. I still may have mounted him if I hadn't just finished pay off my bear rug and getting an antelope started.

He also taste delicious.

Hunting would not exist without understanding wifes.

Much congrats! I've heard people say that barbarys are not good eating and all I can conclude is they must have done something to screw it up. All but one of mine have been very good, and I think I know what I did wrong on the one that was a little gamey...
