Thanks Skeeter, I definately appreciate the rarity of deer like that one. I won't be holding my breath on ever seeing another like it in the wild let alone shooting one.

As for score, i'm not even concerned about it. He does have a second mainbeam on the one side which to me makes him even more of a trophy.

I'm leaning towards shoulder mount. Even my wife seems to think that's a good idea (I still can't believe my ears). At the very least he'll be a euro mount. I'm not sure if i'd prefer seeing the shoulder mount or the freedom of being able to hold it in my hands and look at it from all angles. I know that sounds weird. I've been told I have a problem.

I should also add a note of appreciation to my partner for sharing his hunting spot with me (again). I definately owe him a few. On a side note, of the five guys he regularly hunts with, all of us have tagged deer better than 150( i think mine should gross high enough) and it's not even november yet. Talk about an awesome area he has.
