Best mount for trophy goat
« on: May 17, 2016, 10:20:56 AM »
Okay, I just put in for all my special permits.  :IBCOOL:  Mt. goat is always one that makes me thinks of what I would do if I actually killed one.  I mean mount wise.  A while back I realized that I really didn't want a full body mount but just a head mount seemed to be a waste of that cool white coat.  So I've came to the conclusion that a rug would be best.  This would show off both the horns and the pelt.

I was just wondering what other folks have done or plan to do with their trophy goat-osaurus.  Pictures would be cool too.

I really don't have the room for a full mount, but if I ever kill one, it's getting a full mount climbing rocks mode.  Curious to see pics of good looking rugs or half mounts.

I got a shoulder mount and had the back half tanned.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Mountain goat mounts are one of my favorite. When I hopefully get one this fall it will look something like this

Due to this being a once in a lifetime hunt and animal and to give the true value  of that animal I went with a full mount. It's not just the size of horn but the quality of the coat which includes long chaps and good beard. Remember most life size take up less room the an a rug .

Whats the footprint size of your full body mount with that base? I really want a full body mount (like I really want a goat tag) but I have limited space.

I had an Alaska goat made into a rug.  I like it  :tup:

Will try to get a pic up later.

When I get a goat I am going to go with a full body mount... I probly will do the same if I ever get another ram as well.

Both mounts are cool but that half body mount is sweet up there.
