We all got high hopes of getting a “good one” going into the season.
I know guys who got big ol gorgeous racks they just sawed off and put in a tub. Other guys mount almost everything they shoot.
What will it take for you to shoulder mount a deer this year?
I’ve got a couple around 115-120.
It’ll take a 125-130 for me to mount another one, preferably a 10 as I’ve killed spike through 9 but not a 10. I might skull mount something smaller. What’s the threshold for you guys?

125-130 range will get a spot on the wall.

Bow kill - 130+
Rifle kill - 140+

Probably a 140 class plus...

130 give or take a inch
110+ will get skull mount

130. Less if it’s a unique rack. I’ve got a pretty good twin beam buck roaming around that I would put on the wall. He’s a 5yo prob 120 or so

I like antlers with character, drop tines, split brow tines etc.

Nice I got one but it's just single beam under the main no extra points...that one will go 130 gross

150”+

About $400-$500

For a shoulder mount, 140 or better. Euro mount, any good racked buck. $40.

As good or better than my first buck. I'm a fan or european mounts.

I mounted my first bow buck. 100" 8 point. I only bow hunt these days. Dont plant on slinging an arrow unless its a deer im targeting, if so it will get mounted.

ill never shoulder mount another even if he scored 180

I'm about to this point as well......I might though if he was over one fiddy and had a really impressive looking rack. I'll likely just skull mount any I kill from here on out though.

150"+ for shoulder mount and 130"+ for European mount. I don't have a lot of room to hang them nor do I have a desire to have one hanging unless he is a real eye catcher.

I euro all racked bucks that we kill. It would take a lot for me to shoulder mount anything i kill. I have one kid who has never taken a buck and one that has only killed a small racked buck. When they kill a good buck, i will shoulder mount theirs if they want - but i am partial to euros now.

I'll probably shoulder mount my first "good" one whatever I feel that is. I like euro mounts though.

It really just depends on the deer as well as the hunt for me. I have one on the wall that's just a few inches over 150 and another that's in the high 130s, but I also have one that is maybe 120-125 but I shoulder mounted him because he was a special deer with a good story. I don't shoot bucks unless they're grown nowadays so if I shoot one then in my eyes it deserves a spot on the wall. Right now as it sits I have four shoulder mounts, six European, and I think 5 skull plates.
