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 mine, shoulder mount, turned to the right.

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.

My mulie, just back from the taxidermist- slight left turn.

Stud bucks Roundoak.

Very nice!!

I've seen these about 10 times and I'm still in awe every time!!

Roundoak,
You done good! Nice Bucks!

You and me both. Studs.

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...

Few more ..




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.

Hope that gives you some ideas. I know pictures help me....

Great stuff Greg. Love the "dad" buck.

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.

Incredible bucks, wow!

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....

Some of myy mule deer hunting buddy's stuff.

Oh, mercy !

Indeed....

I'm switching to coues deer next year in AZ. Not sure how long it'll last....

I'm addicted to Coues, I have Coues OCD!

Here you go.

For sure.

Some guys just go overboard killing big bucks.

Be nice to sit by a campfire and hear the stories on those 2 and a few of Greg's bucks also.

Last years Colorado Muzzleloader mountain mule deer.

Been trying to follow directions for Photobucket image gallery at> https://postimages.org/ but can't get anywhere. Any simple way to drop a photo in here?

Not sure how well that's going to work but hopefully there's a pic of my wall pedistal buck mount attached.

This mount hangs low on the wall, so it's mounted alert/upright to avoid the tines.

Pretty awesome bucks. I've never had the pleasure of hunting them, but mule deer is at the top of my bucket list. I think another thing that the OP should consider is the position of the ears.

Absolutely. I always consider ear position when planning the posture of a mount.
I laid the ears back on mine because he had mass and height but wasn’t really wide.

These posts are driving me crazy waiting for Jan 1 OTC archery deer to begin here in AZ!!!!

Started yesterday for buds. Day 2 of 45....grin...

Impressive Greg! What bucks from what states?

Some great bucks here! Thanks for sharing.
