Should this get a shoulder mount??
So I shot this 8pt buck, my first buck ever... he has a spread of 21.55” and I was curious is this would look good up on the wall. Let me know if you think he’s the right size or if I should go with a euro or something instead.<br /><br />thanks

Why would you ask strangers to make your decision for you?

Because he wanted experienced hunters input on if that buck would make a good looking mount or not. Or if he should consider a euro or something else. Pretty common question.
Same question I asked the taxidermist before taking my bear over and he took me into his show room and showed me some similar sized mounts and what they would look like.
It's a good question before spending the money on something that may not look good.
That buck has plenty of rack to look good on the wall.

I have 9 mounted deer heads in my house and a bunch of euro mounts laying around.
Ive never looked at one of my head mounts and thought "man I wish I wouldn't have had that one done" I have however looked at euro mounts and thought "man I should have had that one mounted"
