I don't know how to score these things so I'm guessing he wouldn't score well, but I guess the main point is space. Thanks for the measurements ill measure some things tomorrow.
I looked at the scoring or how to score them and you need a PhD I am pretty sure. I wouldnt worry about the score if it's a trophy to you that's all that counts! What ever you decide show us pictures when its done!
Common species I tend to euro mount knowing that later I could easily add a cape if I want. Bighorn or caribou, I'm mounting them. Actually have a velvet bou from 1993 that has made 6 moves and covered thousands and thousands of miles in a moving truck. Still looks great and great memories with it.
If they really stick out 4feet from the wall I'm screwed. There's no where in this casa to put it. Looks like euro vill. Thanks everyone for the responses.
Some species just have too much character for a euro mount. All elk, moose, etc...look the same except for the headgear so a euro is all ya need. But a bison, muskox, etc...have uniqueness that makes em ideal for shoulder mounts. The hard part for you is preserving the velvet. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
