How do you decide whether or not to mount your trophys? I took a 187 typical mule buck last fall, and I did not intend to have it mounted. Some people say it should have been, I am beginning to second guess the decision. I can always have it done up at a later date, but I did give the cape from him to a local taxidermist who needed it for somebody elses mount. (he did a great job of fleshing out the skull for me) I boiled and cleaned up the skull like a European mount, but I am wondering how many would have got the mount done, and how many would have used the skull and antlers to decorate the flower bed (I had intended to put them there, the taxidermist warned me they would go missing, but I would know where to find them...with a wink) He was my first mulie buck (one of many I hope), but I didnt think at the time that he was as suited for mounting as some of the others we had seen. What do you say?
