RE: Mounts
I pick the pose depending on the bucks rack. Any deer I kill that grosses over 170" gets mounted as a floor pedestal. I'm a real big fan of wall pedestal mounts and have been hung on them for a while. The only form that I will NEVER get done is a straight mount with the ears looking straight forward. Thats the most boring mount you could possible have. Plus I will never get a full sneak mount done because I think they look silly and when your looking at them on the wall you can only see the head and antlers of the mount. Most of the time I know how I'm going to mount a buck before I even shoot it. I'll look at trail cam pictures or video of the buck and will usually know what I want. I think eachbuck has its own form/pose that it should be mounted on which will make him look the biggest and most impressive as possible.
