Looks like he was on his way downhill maybe... very nice none the less, but I know I'd mounted the way I took him, otherwise why not just shoot a spike and make giant fake antlers on them? what's the difference?

First congratulations, Great find. but I have to agree, right now you have a genuine great deer, a nice piece of nature. I think it would be dishonor to fake him up. I would mount it as is, it would make a great tribute to a great animal. Doc
