When I kill a buck and think " I may never kill a buck this big again" he gets shoulder mount. Only Have one so far. All other good deer get euros. And If I mess up and get a yougun. He goes in the pile.
I believe that this is a practical world and that I can count only on what I earn. Therefore I believe in work, hard work. -George Petrie (1945)

I’d say 130+ or a really unusal rack gets a shoulder mount for me. I’ve got two shoulder mounted now and I’d like to have a couple more and then probably just skull mount everything. If I killed a really good one with my bow I’d probably shoulder mount it too. I’ll just keep skull mounting everything else though

No number. Bigger ones antlers go in the dog chew pile, smaller ones end up on the wall. My memories of the hunt drive my desire to hang it up.

So this is my first post after “stalking” a while. It’s interesting to see the range of score or inches everyone uses as a baseline for getting a deer mounted, and it should be based on what someone wants to spend their hard earned money on. For me, however, it is more about the hunt and the anima regardless of score. I’ve been blessed to kill and mount a number of 120”+ deer in MS and AL over the years. That said I have several mounted that are less, including a 13” 8 point that I hunted for two weeks straight and had a couple of opportunities before I killed him. That deer means a lot to me. I’ve never regretted getting one mounted and I can tell you the story on everyone, including the full date. I’m reminded of the hunts every time I focus on them. Welcome! Good first post

Y’all must hunt out of state a lot.the biggest deer I’ve ever killed is 118 5/8” and i have a lot of folks who have hunted all their life tell me that deer looks huge and think he scores 140”. I’ll shoulder mount anything 115”+ but i do mount my own. I euro and shoulder mounted probably 15 deer from Alabama for other folks last year and some were some sho nuff bruisers and never had one break 120”. Hell I’d be willing to bet that 60% of deer in Alabama never break 120” in their lifetime. I agree with you. I hear people talking all the time about deer scoring 130, 140 etc. When you actually measure one strictly by the rules it’s just very hard to break 120 here. I know it happens but I think it’s much more rare than people think. Unless I see it with my own eyes I just assume people are exaggerating when they claim their deer scored 130.
