This one is letting me know what it’ll look like mounted. I know I know, but caliberbob it’s nowhere near worthy of being mounted. For a first Oklahoma Buck it’s perfect 🤓
That looks like a good deer! Every deer is worthy of being mounted if that's what the hunter wants.

This is kind of a PSA when it comes to mounting deer. I grew up deer hunting in east Texas in the early 80’s when deer populations were low, and “if it’s brown, it’s down“ was the general consensus of most hunters. I didn’t see a 100” buck in the wild until I was in my mid 20’s, so the first time I killed what I thought was a big buck I got it mounted. Then I killed bigger buck and thought that’s as good as it gets, and I got it mounted. Fast forward to now, I have 17 shoulder mounts, and 3/4th of them should’ve been euro mounted instead of shoulder mounted. However, euro mounts can add up too, because I have a literal pile of them and have no way to display them all. :anyone:

Any deer deemed worthy of mounting is in fact worthy of mounting. That’s a darn fine deer

A nail, some p-cord and a shop wall is all you need to get that pile up off the ground. But Euro mounts definitely add up.
