Opinions on mounting a whitetail vs just a skull mount

[Randle]

Yep that's what I just did . My best archery kill from 99 with a cape from my son's buck in 2012. Just had it done last year . Makes it very special too both of us.
Mine is the one on the left in the picture .his best buck is on the right.

Euro Mount. But I'm kinda partial to them.

I love euro mounts. You can do it yourself in a day for about 5 bucks. I have a couple shoulder mounts but only way I'll have another done is if I shoot a booner whitetail or maybe some different species someday. It's just so expensive for a good one and they take up a lot of room. Another plus for the euro mount is that you can take it down and handle the antlers whenever you want instead of just looking at em.

TO the OP, only you can answer the question you asked. Lots of variables to be considered. Do you have the Room? Cash? Do you want to be able to handle it and hand it to a friend to hold? Did you save the cape? Is the cape is good condition?

The past few years I have leaned towards euros. Partially because I am running out of room but mostly because I can take them down and handle them or move them easily. Don't just do a shoulder because it's big. BIG euros look awesome!
