Pick his best side for the outermost side. This is a narrow Whitetail I killed a couple years ago. I turned him hard to showcase his best side over his poor spread.

This buck scores 180", despite a 14" inside spread. I opted for an offset wall pedestal with an acute turn back towards the front to accentuate the narrow spread. Unfortunately, it was hard to show off the 15" of kickers coming off the G2's unless you move to the side

NICE buck! WWP53D
