I've never had a mount done. I couldn't justify the cost to my family.
I've got several mule deer, bear, antelope and one elk mount. All "European" or just antlers on a wooden plaque. Classy, inexpensive, and they take up a LOT less space than a full head & shoulders mount.
If I ever venture to Africa, I'm seriously thinking that photographs are plenty of "trophy" for me.
