Great looking buck heavy and tall! JLS hit it on the head, I would love to have some shoulder mounts of my deer( not that I have a bunch of trophy class head gear laying around), but I'm not made of money. Taking the time off, spending the money on solid gear, and buying licenses cost enough. If I had the disposable income I would do it, but a euro is a happy medium, and stylin in its own wright. Nice job on a great deer!

nice deer and congratz.
If you're on the fence, you can always freeze the cape for now and DIY a Euro. I think it's something every deer hunter should try out. It isn't that expensive to DIY and will broaden your appreciation for good taxidermy. Out sure did for me.

That's a beautiful buck, congrats. If it were me I would save 25 bucks a month and in about 2 years you'd have it paid for. Most good taxidermists are over a year out anyways. I think they would work with you. If that is a strain on the family, maybe you could just have the cape tanned for now and stow it away for a better time.

I personally would mount that buck, but a euro would look sweet too. You could do it (euro) yourself for the price of peroxide. Great deer man!

Great buck. For sure mount it. Mine was $600 but paid $250 down and then a year later paid the other $350 when it was done

If that is the biggest buck to date you have shot....the answer is obvious.

Great deer, I would mount it for sure, if money is tight see about payments. In the end family comes first, so if finances don't allow a shoulder mount do the european.
