I like to look at the few I have mounted and reflect on those hunts. They're not there to impress anyone. JMHO. +1 i could give a rip if anyone is impressed with my mounts ... they're mine to enjoy & reminisce about ... some were gotten by hard/good hunting tactics, & to be completely honest, some were just pure damn dumb luck (being in the right place, at the right time) ...

I had to mount the one I killed during bow season because he was 1/8 inch shy of club minimum.
Has to make minimum or go on the wall, or $250 fine. That was a good one what did he score? We have a taxidermist in our club and I let him have the head and cape the next day so I never had a chance to have him scored. I'm going to guess he was in the 120' range. He was 14 7/8 wide and club minimum is 15.

160 or better. I probably never will shoot one so I'm not concerned about it. My "respect for the deer" is eating it.
The only mounts I have are my first buck (forkhorn, on a Western Auto cheapo plaque), 51-inch muskie replica, pronghorn from Wyoming, a boar in the garage, a Euro boar on my desk and some ducks including my first one from 35+ years ago that somehow still is in good shape.

Mounted two. Two biggest I have shot. The first one was a heavy 8 and the other one was a decent 10. Cost about $ 325 each. Have no plans to mount another one unless its a monster. Never had them scored but they are special deer to me.
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

I have a 130 3/8 and money is tighter than ever this season so it would have to be a beast. I've been doing Euro on all the decent racks since that one in 2000
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

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? This rack would do........I'd mount it. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/cc/fa/2a/ccfa2addfd97bc893f4bd307c6eeba55.jpg)

Joel does the best deer mounts in Alabama....period. That’s what I have been told, and just talking with him he takes a lot of pride in his work Yep, his are the best looking I have and seen.

I don't care to mount any of mine. I didn't even cut the antlers off the 10 point I killed Monday.

IMO to many people get hung up on the "number of inches". Mount what makes you happy. I have 3 deer mounted and a bunch of skull mounts. I kinda like the skull mounts more these days but wouldn't hesitate to mount another deer.
In your darkest hour when the demons come, call on me brother and we'll fight them together.

I likely wont mount another until I develop a history with another deer. The last one I mounted was a 5 pt I hunted for 4 yrs. If the kids kill one I will mount it for them if they want
