RE: My first Keeper.
He'll make afine looking mount that you could surely be proud of, if that's what you're asking.
I've seen plenty of small ones that I would nevermount but others do and that's great for them, and I've seen plenty of Iowa monster racks simply nailed to the wall of a barn that most folks would consider the buck of a lifetime, but to them it's just a deer. It's purely a personal thing.
