RE: How do you decide if you get a head mount?
If he ain't big enough to mount, he ain't big enough to shoot.
If everyone only shot 3 1/2 year old bucks, we could all shoot 3 1/2 year old bucks. I will never understand why people will shoot a dink and then throw his rack in a pile in the garage with all the other dinks or let the dog chew on it. EVERYONE wants to shoot a big buck but most can't stand to end a season without killing something. A 1 1/2 year old buck is the dumbest deer in the woods. If you want the meat then shoot a doe and let the dinks grow.
