To mount, or not to mount?
I'm just wondering, how many guys DON'T get their deer mounted? I mean, even if it's a really nice one, would you not?
Personally, for me......I won't. I simply can't justify that kind of money. Now, I may do some kind of skull cap mount or something....you know, those ones with just the antlers mounted on a plaque.....
Don't get me wrong, I love looking at deer mounts. I think they look really awesome....I just wouldn't myself, that's all.....Too expensive IMO...

RE: To mount, or not to mount?
You heard it here, first, mobo.....
If I don't intend to get it mounted....I won't shoot it (buck). I reserve the right to alter this outlook in the case of an injury or something "special" about the hunt....but I doubt these will occur (never know).
Icould conceivably never pull the trigger on another buck....lol.
If I shoot the buck I'm after this year.....I may never have another one mounted. Turkeys? Different story. I want a full strut mount and a flying mount to go with the standing mount I have coming. I also want to hoefully have a mount of a pronghorn (come on '09).
Really, though.....I see me with about 2 0r 3 deer mounts......that's all.

If I shoot a buck I mount it.
One of these days I am going to mount a doe too. When I get a real cute one.
UUHHH, maybe that doesn't sound right. OH WELL you know what I mean.
