I like the second one, the semi-sneek, it just appears to be more "natural" of a look. The slightly lowered head will also help make the rack stand out (even though it really doesn't need any help to do that)

Buck Magnet hasn't shot enough deer to know what's more natural. I prefer Number 1. Great bucks guys. Number one is alert and on guard. He's seen something and it's about to be too late.

I think for a pedestal mount I like #1 better. For a wall mount though I love the sneak or semi sneak. You can't go wrong with either and if I killed a buck of that caliber (buck ofa lifetime in PA) I'd do the pedestal as well. Can't wait to see pics..........

Edit - I'd also be curious to know the neck measurement on Frank's buck. I'm betting it was right around 24"........amazing for an early season PA buck.

I like #1 better for a pedestal.... If and when I take a top end buck for my area I will do a wall pedestal mount.

A wall pedestal mount demands respect..... This is why I will only do a pedestal if I take a top end whitetail for my area.... The only mount that demands more respect is a full body mount and I would have to live in a "lodge" to go all out like that.

#1 is going to be my next mount style. It depends on what you already have on the wall and what shows off the rack the best.
