I hunted a deer tournament a few years ago and came in fourth place with a wide six point. Sense the deer wasn`t as big as some others I`ve killed I decided to do a european mount on it sense it did win me a couple hundred dollars and a european cost a ton less money than conventional mounts. I love it, it looks great, and takes up less wall space. I would recommend it if you haven`t got one. Good Luck and God Bless, Danny
