I would just use a standard right turn semi sneak form.
I always try to either mount them the way I remember seeing them during the hunt or how they were when I shot them... if possible.

i would say it depends on where your gonna put it....hate to have a right turn lookin right at the corner of a wall.

so figure out where your gonna put it..or a position you can make due with in the future if you might change residences.

Yes, think of where your going to hang him on a wall too. A mount thats become pretty popular in last couple yrs is the McKenzie Semi-Upright Offset series. The mount sits Off Set on the wall, meaning one side is more exposed than the other. In other words a right turn, there would be more right shoulder showing. The opposite left side would be shorter. Also on this form the head is a little more up in the air, than on a standard upright pose. I think this makes the antlers look nicer.

The avatar pic Western MA has is the exact pose I'm speaking of. The offset exposes more of 1 side, and shows little more leg. The head is more up to show off the antlers.

I like them like a semi Sneak but not too sneaky, I think it brings out the Antlers like this one .

I usually have my Buck Mounts raised up and looking straight on...that way they will fit on just about any wall or direction in my house.
