I appreciate the idea. I had thought of that once before with a deer I got as well. Hanging the hide on the wall and having the eruo over it. I like shoulder mounts so much though. This year is the first time I have ever killed big game while not hunting solo. And it means the world to me that it was my dad with me. And I figured I couldnt pay for it, my dad has been pretty strapped as well, but managed to ruffle up money to give to me to get the process going. All this without me asking for any of it. So in all, getting it mounted the way he and I have always talked about... a shoulder mount. Even if between here and when I pick it up and pay the rest, I have to work a bunch of OT then so be it. haha. That is also why I wont cry if you can see a stitch or two when your standing right by it. It will still look great in my eye.
I wish I would have given the rack a rough measure, at least in height and width before I took it in.
I think I am going to be stuck with mounting it between the TV and the left corner in the one pic below, where the hutch is now. With a slight turn to the mount's left or your right.
Also thought about where the double fish mount is in the other pic, between the chair and loveseat, it would be over an end table when I finish making the table, haha, but then it would be facing the mount's right or your left and I already have a bear and a deer that face that way. Or where my other 5x5 euro is, but I think it will stick out too far as the room is so narrow and that is a main walkway.
I hate how narrow this room is, haha.
