Mount for sure. Nice buck.

If you mount it you will get a bigger one next year. If you don't it'll take ten years to get a bigger one. I think the choice is obvious! :chuckle:

Very nice buck and if you don't mount it you'll reget it.  Nice looking cape too-- mount that buck. :tup:

I always said I was going to mount any king I caught over 50 lbs., after 10 years of fishing/guiding in Alaska I finally got 1, its was 50.1 on a certified scale so I started second guessing whether a just barely 50 was enough or if I wanted to hold out for a bigger fish. I said the hell with it and got it mounted, the mount turned out awesome and after another 12 summers in Alaska I haven't topped it yet. Sure glad I had it mounted. :twocents:

Awesome buck btw :tup:

I would get it mounted if you have an extra $650 or so laying around.

Thats the problem. I dont. Could survive with putting abit aside every paycheck, just hard to talk myself into spending that much knowing the family will have less. 
650? talk to a new taxi. :dunno:
I was told less.

What a great deer.  Do a European and put the money where it needs to go :twocents:
Title: Re: Best I have got!
Post by: wt on November 13, 2012, 10:01:14 PM
Great looking buck heavy and tall! JLS hit it on the head, I would love to have some shoulder mounts of my deer( not that I have a bunch of trophy class head gear laying around), but I'm not made of money. Taking the time off, spending the money on solid gear, and buying licenses cost enough. If I had the disposable income I would do it, but a euro is a happy medium, and stylin in its own wright. Nice job on a great deer!

Beautiful buck.  He would go on my wall. :tup:

Post by: Bean Counter on November 13, 2012, 10:12:43 PM
nice deer and congratz.

If you're on the fence, you can always freeze the cape for now and DIY a Euro. I think it's something every deer hunter  should try out. It isn't that expensive to DIY and will broaden your appreciation for good taxidermy. Out sure did for me.
Title: Re: Best I have got!
Post by: BOOM!! on November 13, 2012, 10:48:26 PM
That's a beautiful buck, congrats. If it were me I would save 25 bucks a month and in about 2 years you'd have it paid for. Most good taxidermists are over a year out anyways. I think they would work with you. If that is a strain on the family, maybe you could just have the cape tanned for now and stow it away for a better time.

Post by: lewy on November 14, 2012, 06:09:25 AM
I personally would mount that buck, but a euro would look sweet too. You could do it (euro) yourself for the price of peroxide. Great deer man!
Title: Re: Best I have got!
Post by: ldjbuff on November 14, 2012, 06:23:53 AM
Great buck. For sure mount it. Mine was $600 but paid $250 down and then a year later paid the other $350 when it was done

If that is the biggest buck to date you have shot....the answer is obvious.

Post by: deadwoodbuck on November 14, 2012, 08:53:35 AM
no question...i vote for an off shoulder turn to the lefft
Title: Re: Best I have got!
Post by: Rainier10 on November 14, 2012, 08:58:29 AM
Great deer, I would mount it for sure, if money is tight see about payments.  In the end family comes first, so if finances don't allow a shoulder mount do the european.

Post by: LipRipper! on November 16, 2012, 11:59:47 AM
Holy crap!  :yike: What a monster of a buck!!  :tup: To go along with everyone else, you definitely need to mount that thing!
Title: Re: Best I have got!
Post by: TommyH on December 01, 2012, 07:59:36 AM
no one gots a guess on the age of the buck with kickers off its G-2?
I was thinking that it was not all that old and hoping i can find him next year a bit bigger than he was this year.
