All of mine have some type of turn and agree with you on the left turn - semi-sneak/left turn is how I'd roll (with offset ears positioned back).
Since I started using this hanging system, it sure takes a lot of head-scratching on turns/positions - you can make about anything work and aren't bound to a specific turn for a specific area on a wall.
Use any of those with mounts with a plaque on the back?
No sir, have not. But the plaque could likely be removed to do so? š¤·š¼āāļø
Thanks! And I am sure it could, but not sure I want to do that to the two I have with the plaque. My first buck that my dad had mounted for me and his best. Sentimental thing with those two...
Maybe get the double system and they could be coupled? Have done that with a few. I guess it depends on the size of the plaque āĀ hanging system is a great space-saver too.
If a buck I kill has something unique I always make that beam the one on the front side of the mount. Have one with a big split ear and did a hard turn so you could see it. Great deer no matter which way you choose to go. The biggest thing for me is taking it to a real taxidermist. I wonāt take a deer to a guy that doesnāt send the hide to a tannery. Have one mount that Iāve never been happy with from the moment I picked it up. Still not sure what made me think saving 100 or so dollars was a good idea.

Great thread with lots of first hand info on presentation. Stuff I would never have thought about until you gents pointed it out. Myself I never had the pesos for a full mount or a taxidermist so a couple of skull cap mounts is all I can claim. The only thing I can offer is that Iāve seen lots of terrible work so I do qualify as somebody who knows what they donāt want, if ever. My late Brother had a nice Jackalope.

Here is a left turn for a similar buck, I have no regrets. I think these were both semi-uprights, but they came from two different taxidermists with slightly different forms.
The one on the left sure looks to have all the makings of a Sunflower State buck??
Yes, both are Kansas rifle bucks. The one on the left was the first deer I ever shot, on my very first deer hunt in 1996. His G2s are as long as he is wide, 12.5ā. The buck on right is from 2010.
