Shot a mule deer buck this fall and intend to get it mounted but am looking for some ideas on how to do it. I tend to lean towards the semi-sneak with it turned one way or the other but am considering doing a wall pedestal-type of mount.

Anyone willing to share pictures of how they had their mule deer mounted in order to give me some ideas?

Here is my only shoulder mount, I have a bunch of euro but this is the only deer shoulder mount I have. Nothing fancy, just a bit of a left turn of the head.

Roundoak,
You done good! Nice Bucks!


If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

Some of these bucks I've posted before so hopefully not overdoing it with these pictures....

I prefer a simple slight turn. Gives flexibility on wall positioning and to show off a good side...

Think I'm gonna just paint this a bit and leave it about as is. I like it.

I'm gonna do the same with this guy too...

Simple is good often times. This guy was dropped and his skull plate was smashed. Plus this was the last buck I took with my dad.

Seeing the mounts and racks all together is spectacular.

I am sure you have a favorite, my favorite is the mount that has the smoke detector above it. That one makes my trigger finger itch. grin

Sorry, not the best pics, just quick cell phone shots for the OP plus I'm outta wall space and gotta figure that out real quick...grin.....

That one is fourth biggest actually but still bumping 190*...

Your whitetails are something else.. I grew up shooting 120-130" whitetail which is about as big as they get on average in my part of TX where I grew up but yours are a "bit" bigger...grin....
