I put the first four bucks I shot on the wall because I was just getting into taxidermy. My work was far from good at the time - but can't tell you how many appreciated them just the same. One was a spike with a broken stub for one side! Still looked good. Story to go! If you can afford it why not. Saves that story and brings it back. I don't do my own work anymore but if I got one that was special in any way - I'd get it mounted and wouldn't think twice. Got a little 8pt wt that means more to me on the wall than my biggest buck. Just another way of perserving the story...
