I mounted a 4x4 with eye guards, 23 inches wide in 2004 and haven't shot one nicer yet. It was a great hunt and I dragged that deer for 2 hours with my daughter and a 17 yearold into camp before my husband even showed up to camp. When he drove up it was hanging, dressed and ready for him to cape it for me. When I draw a quality deer tag I may shoot a nicer one and I may not, this one was a general season deer. I like the 3X3 but you did the hunt and know which holds the best memory. I prefer to mount a deer with the original cape but this way in a sense you may have both on the wall with only one money wise.
