Sorry, not to affend you, but it's a so so rack you didn't shoot it and I would just feed it to the dogs.If you practicing doing a euro mount, great. Good luck with it.
I will admit to one time ticking off my a-hole neighbor by putting one just like it on the back side of my fence looking at them. Funny it was gone in a day or two but I never reported the theft to the police.

Ah, after 5 months they should be nice and tender! LOL, yeah, I'm just joking. Working in law enforcement where I do, I respond to a lot of car-deer accidents and I save every set of antlers I can. I just think they are cool to look at as well. Plus, even though you didn't shoot it, there is still a story that goes along with it. I stopped a car for speeding one day, just about into my town and as I'm approaching it I notice a station wagon coming towards me from the opposite direction. No big deal, but you always need to know where the traffic is so you don't get dead on the side of the road. So anyway, I am approaching the car I stopped and I hear a loud crashing noise. I look up and here comes a deer flying through the air like a helicopter blade right at the car I just stopped. It hits the front quarter panel of the car I stopped, flys up over the car right at me. I had to run back to the Troop car to keep from being hit by this deer. It lands dead right in between me and the car I stopped. The deer ran out in front of the station wagon approaching me from the opposite direction and he hit it. Fortunately the car I had originally stopped didn't have any damage and lucky for them no ticket. The deer turned out to be a really small three point I had seen on and off all Summer. You can bet that I kept that rack. It is about as tiny as it gets but I will never forget how I got that 'rack'.

Most hunters like a rack no matter what. big small, whatever. If you have the chance to get a rack, I would think most guys would want it. I don't understand why you said what you said in your post. It made no sense to me.

For the bit about the fence, I mean a rack exactly like the one .308 has smell and all. These folks deserved everything they got and more.

I'm looking for something like that for a Euro mount on the gable of my hunting cabin. I won't expose one of my own kills to the elements like that but would love to find a nice one after the season to use for that purpose.
