Which Muley to mount? Pic's added! I picked it up today!
« on: January 30, 2011, 07:41:41 PM »
I am having a hard time deciding which set of antlers to have shoulder mounted. I picked up my 2010 rack from the taxidermist today so I could get them scored at the Yakima Sportsmen show in a few weeks. When I saw the rack with out the head, there was some shrinkage from what I remember on opening day with the antlers still on the deer. I want a real good looking, classic muley on my wall.  I am leaning towards my 2007 3x3 now. I think the Taxi can mount my 07 buck with my 2010 cape? Please vote, I would like your input. Thanks!

First pic is 2007 3x3

Should have no problems using 2007 antlers to 2010 cape as long as the burrs are roughly the same.

I hope so!  :chuckle: The one I get this year must be a 150+ to get stuffed! I am working my up in rack size! I am really leaning towards the 3pt. I cut the 3pt so there was quite a bit of skull to work with in case i ever wanted him mounted, so I hope the Taxi can make him work.

Either one.  That way, you are guaranteed to kill a bigger buck than either of them!

I hope I get a bigger one someday! I have a 4x4 on the wal that is a bit smaller than these two, and I sure never get tired of looking at it. I really like mule deer, and hope to mount one bigger yet! My 2010 cape is getting tanned as we speak so one or the other needs to get mounted. I am learning to lay off the trigger and have let some dandys walk, but its a fine line for me between Large racks and back straps!

Whichever one you had to work harder for. I can't pick one by just looking at the pictures.
