Now we’re talking like the old days!
Y’all must have just needed a jump start
Ended up taking it to Soleman's after reading some old posts on here.
Hung out there a while talking to Ellis & Mary.
Great folks! There was a guy in the same boat as me in terms of deciding which way to go.
Ended up talking ourselves into a shoulder mount (assuming my cape is sufficient).
Basically $370 difference between euro & shoulder mount, so the way I look at it is this.
It’s the best deer I’ve ever killed and i have some history with him, plus the score was respectable, so what the hay.
GPS - I can’t really help you decide, but I’m like the other guys, it would be cool either way.
Very unique deer! Congrats!
Stang - speaking of skull mount pedestals, this one I did myself a few years ago.
It was the first one I’d ever attempted.
I was in a creative mode on this particular day as well as feeling a little sentimental about the two men (no longer with us) that sparked my love for the outdoors.
I made the base from a cedar post in my Granddaddy’s dilapidated smokehouse & the upright post from an old cedar fence post on my Dad’s property.
I was pleased with how I turned out, but most of all that I was able to pay small tribute to Daddy & Granddaddy.
