As of right now, he will be mounted as is.

I am thinking I might make a board to attach the mount to with a space at the bottom and frame the velvet picture on it. Sort of a before/after type thing, first time I have harvested a buck and have some sort of documentation on it.

But I have heard about 50/50 from people that I have talked to, thought I would try and get a larger sample and see what you all thought.

As for official scoring, meh, it is a something to use to get an idea of how big something is, nice, but it is not the be all end, all of what makes a deer a trophy for me......
