Out of respect to the animal, I would not hide the antlers from sight. Might put them on a plack and not do a real mount. Why you might ask? Well I would want to be reminded of the error of my ways on that particular day...and what better way to do it as to have them where I will see them each day. A constant reminder a reality check!!

Most deffinately! In the same scenario I would feel the same way , but I would still do a plaque mount. I put all my bucks on plaques , big or small. Like IBM said , you could use the mount as a reminder or rattling antlers is an even better idea.
BTW cods , a seasoned veteran bowhunter gets there by trial and error. You just learned your biggest lesson! Sounds to me like the rest of your ethics and hunting skills are in order.
