"if your gonna mount it" cuz my brother is a taxidermist and thats a false statement

retakes, our moose have to be taken to a check stationa nd have to be in tact. no quartering. so when we get back to camp we wrap a chain around the base of their horns and up they go.

It's easier to gut if its hung with the head up, but most hunters, myself included, gut the deer in the field on the ground. And deer are alot easier to skin with the head towards the ground, especially if your going to mount it.
I have never seen one hung by its head.
