I'd shoot it and do a european mount... I like those... I'd get it home and cut it up to mostly roast, burger, steak up the backstraps.... My dad would throw the rack on a shelf in the garage with the rest of them... He's never cared about antlers... Was raised a meat hunter and never changed... If it's legal, he's going to take it if he can... The only time I seen him be selective he had a quality muzzy any bull tag and a quality modern any buck tag... And I don't recommend leaving any animal head behind just in case you run into a warden... You can always give the head away later or go toss it back into the woods for a dead head... I heard about a guy a few years ago that used a salvage tag on a dead head he found while hunting... After seeing it I understood...  Genius move imo!

Holy cow.  That IS genius.  I never thought of that... 
Good trick to have in your back pocket...

I'll do if I find one with the WOW factor!

Thanks for sharing your experience. Sometimes it seems like calling in a cat will never happen. Glad to see persistence pays off.

Wow congrats, great story, thanks for sharing.  I am just glad to see I am not the only one that has conversations in my head.  Sounds almost exactly what would be going through my mind....

 
Same here.  Some times those arguments can get pretty intense...

Following as well

I've looked into this a little for drop camps as well... There's also Early Winters Outfitting based in Mazama, Stehekin Outfitters, and North Cascade Outfitters...
