Default First buck, cape questions?

K, a question for everyone. I posted a few days back about how to clean the skull cap for my first bow kill so I could display it nicely. I boiled it and then soaked it in some bleach water for half an hour after that and its resting proudly on the top of our entertainment center in the living room. And it really looks good there and I like it. My wife even does too. Matches the rustic theme of our cabin.

But since this is my first bow kill, I'm thinking maybe I get it mounted? I know I'd need a new cape, but I'd probably have needed one anyway. It was a neck shot (not where I'd intended to hit) and there was a lot of bood and 2 large holes in the neck areas. I'm torn. Not that it matters, but how many guys come to taxidermists to get their first buck mounted if he's not that big. Take a look and let me know your thoughts please. Any suggestions welcome.
