Offset Shoulder vs. Square Shoulder Mount?

[project_84]

I’m looking to get a shoulder mount done ( I don’t want a wall pedestal) in semi sneak. I’m trying to decide between an offset vs square shoulder, see picture of the forms. Does anyone have any pictures side by side of an offset shoulder vs. square shoulder mule deer mount? Or pictures of either by themselves?

Square gives it a shorter stocky neck. Offset looks like it’s stretching its neck a bit and the neck will appear a bit thinner than square. The offset also makes it look like you’re looking at more deer on the wall. It usually has a bit more brisket/pit/leg area.

Thank you for the reply.

Off set. I’ve mounted many many animals over the years and I prefer using off set and wall pedestal.

Offset and favor the buck’s antlers so they show the best.

Here is the only offset mount I have. I really like it and will do it again should I ever get another mounter.
