B, it leaves options for later on the skull. You can always change it if later left whole euro.
I was wondering if you drew the Wyoming 38 tag with 2 PP less than max. Someone is very happy today to have drawn that tag !

I agree. I also like the way A is kind of classy....like something you would see hanging up in a Northwoods lodge or supper club.




I originally thought A but wasn't sure why. I think you nailed it for me with your thinking on the "old school" look.

I like A best I think, have both in the house but more of A. To me I think of when I took each animal and that changes my appreciation of each.

We're getting a little bit ahead of ourselves, but A...without the plaque.

Lets just say I greatly, greatly underestimated the amount of wall space I should have allotted to mounts. Right off the bat one of the kids is losing his room forever the second he leaves for college. Upstairs is gonna be taken by force as well. I can get away with hanging the Moose Antlers in the great room, but again, lack of space is gonna prohibit a moose shoulder mount.

I personally prefer A and that will fit in nicely with the décor. From here on out, anything I shoot is gonna more or less have to have a pre-determined space if its gonna be mounted. I already had to move the elk rack into the garage

In any case getting ahead of ourselves would be picking out a spot for the monster black bear I’m gonna shoot while we are up there...


For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!
