RE: mounting questions
It depends on what you want. You can shoulder mount it. However that costs a good amount. Euro mounts look cool too. And they cost alot less if you do it yourself. Then there is skull capping it and putting it on a plack.
Up to you. I will tell you I wish I had mounted my first buck. I have the sckull plate on a plack. Maybe one day I'll put another cape on it.
