Default Found a dead buck, what to do….

Dam shame, I found this dead 8 on my way through some cut corn and dam lucky that the combine didn’t ruin the rack. Really sad to see a deer like this laying there dead, poor tracking maybe. I’m guess he was taken about a month ago during the youth hunt. I would still like to get him mounted some how. I thought of doing a euro mount for now and probably do a full mount next year. The skull is pretty clean still slightly stinky but 99% clean and definitely not in the best shape, busted nose, very, very dirty. Any suggestions how to do it, I haven’t a clue. What if I want to mount him, do I get a doe pelt and take it to a taxidermy? Do they sell mounts with skin? I’ve seen kits but they don’t include a tanned skin. It’s just real shame to see deer like this go to waste, this buck deserves a spot on the wall for sure. I am NOT a fan of the antler block mounts with the little red felt, I hate those.
