stxranchman, where would I look on the skull to identify an issue? If you have other euros just compare the bases and skull cap on them to see if there is any differences. He will make a great shoulder mount. Definitely a conversation starter how ever he is mounted. Just look at several forms to see if there is anything you like before you have the antlers cut off the skull.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

Never have seen one like that, glad you got him. Bet you still shake a little when you pick up that rack.

I would have had to change my underwear and jeans after that one.

Mount him. No other way to do justice to the kind of deer that is. You won't shoot another in your lifetime regardless of score like him.

I've gone back and forth on what to do. I've caped him out and waiting to get him to the Taxi.
ALL my other mounts are Euros, but I thought a shoulder (sneak pose) would show it off.
Think the shoulder is overkill? definitely not overkill... I would talk to a good taxi and see if a replica is a possibility... could euro the original and replica for shoulder mount...

I like this idea but either way he will make an awesome mount or euro whatever you decide. Again that is a buck of a lifetime

Thank guys. He was taken in Runnels County NW of Ballinger, TX.
I am dropping him off at the taxi today, and will take a pic of the back of the antlers, and post it.
I have to wear sunglasses into the woods, because the deer would recognize me, an just surrender with their hooves up.

Looks like he may have had a skull fracture but strange he would be so healthy Seen quite a few with cracks or fractures in the skull when they were caped out. Seen a buck that had pulled a whole velvet antler with part of the skull out when he got hung in a fence. He ran around with one antler that year. He lived and grew a funky rack on that side the next year then more normal looking the next. I am always amazed at what a buck can do after damage to the skull or antlers. Like to see pics of this skull also just to see what it looks like. I have an euro of a buck that had an extra small 1" point in between the his two antler bases. You can see where the antler on that side cracked and then healed at an angle. That side of his antler grew differently also. It stayed that way till he was killed. I actually saw this buck and videoed him the year he broke that side in the skull. You could see that antler laying at an angle and it would move around when he ran. I did not realize it was the same buck till he was killed a couple of years later and saw the damage to the skull on the euro mount.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?
