Default need help on picking out a mount

here is my 2011 buck 126 6/8" 14 point buck i wanna have him facing right since his best side is the left side of his antler plus so you can see all the kickers that is off the back of his right antler. so can you guys post some of you deer mounts that would be the best for what i want so i can get a idea on what i'm looking for.

To show off a deer's left side you want him turned to the LEFT. I know it sounds backwards, but it's true. Tell me in the pic below which side of the rack you can see better:


As you can see the side closest to the wall shows very well, and the side facing out is jumbled together.

i see what you are saying. i went to the taxidermist an hour or so ago and he showed me all kinds of deer mounts i decided to go with a full sneak facing left since it would lower the head and you could see all of the kickers on it.

Congratulations!!! That is a great deer. I don't think it will really matter, that deer will look good in any position. The sneak should look great, Doc
