Default Plaque, No Plaque, or Pedestal?

Which do you all prefer? I prefer no plaque or pedestals with vegetation.

yeah i like either no plaque or pedestal. but i don't really have anything against having a plaque though. if i get a deer mounted i'll probably get it no plaque. unless i want one of those brass plates that tells when mounted and the score and who killed it and such.

I am not a big fan of Plaques for big game mounts.
Gotta have some driftwood for waterfowl though.

I hate plaques, I think they look tacky and take away from the mount. I'm a big fan of pedestal mounts, especially when I kill a big trophy buck.

I GUESS I WOULD PREFER EITHER NO PLAQUE OR JUST THE PLAQUE ...TO ME THE PEDISTAL TAKES AWAY FROM THE MOUTN A LOT OF TIMES ... JUST MY OPINION .. I HAD MY BUCK MOUNTED WITH NO PLAQUE BUT THEN DECIDED TO PUT IT ON ONE AND THINK IT LOOKS BETTER ...HERE ARE A COUPLE OF PICTURES WITH AND WITHOUT ...

Dr. Death, I like yours both ways. I guess I really dislike when the plaque is large and out of proportion. Nice buck.

Thanks Morty ... I first did not have a plaque on this buck nor any of my other deer but I like this deer on one ... I think it compliments the deer.
