I don't think I would shoulder mount either of them.  No offense. They are both nice bucks.  I would do a couple of european mounts that way you can get both done with not a lot of expense.

Both great bucks and the choice is yours. The newer buck sure looks like a whitetail to me :dunno:

I am excited to get one of these guys mounetd. They may not be big enough for some folks on this site, but they are the biggest bucks I have been able to harvest, and I am very proud of them. I am still leaning towards the 3pt. He has the look that I want an the wall. I just hope the taxi can make him work with the 3x4 cape. And yes, they are both Muleys, NOT whitetails.

It aint about size and what we think brother, it's your money and trophies, if you have the cash mount'em. If not choose the one that means the most to you. I had my first tagged buck mounted I got when my dad was with me and I was 16 ( he has passed since I mounted it). It's only a small muley forkie ( I wonder how big it might have grown if not killed, quite wide for a young buck) killed in the Pataha canyon by Pomeroy Wa. I will never forget that day still can see it vivedly.

Sounds like you already know which one you want to mount.  Any taxidermist who knows what he's doing can make your cape work.

Well, The 3pt we spotted a long way away. Made a plan for me to head down a canyon to the area he was bedded and try see him againg and get a shot. Well I quietly made my way down and glassed and glassed but never saw him. I figured he busted me early and was gone! So I slowly sneaked in closer, using my bino's, trying to get another sighting. When i made it in to where he was, all the sudden he exploded out of some sage and hopped at a high speed down the canyon. As he was hopping, I held the crosshair on the back of his head just as his hooves hit the ground I fired. I figured if he began to bound up the bullet would hit in the back of the neck. Well the bullet whacked him in the back of the head and he cartwheeled. Wow! What a great feeling! That was a very exciting hunt!

Sounds like a great hunt and stalk that plays well in your memory, unless you have a story that is as equally exciting to you for the 2010 buck, then I would mount the 2007 horns on the 2010 cape.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

I voted on the 3x3 as well but like a few guys have said, a euro mount is pretty cheap and the other buck would probably look great and not run up the bill too much more :)
