    If I paid for a full body mount of a buck, I would have to get ready to pay for my own full body mount when my wife found out.

    A full mount is too big for my liking. I have full mount bear and it is too big to have around and he stands upright. I have hit the stage in my life, where I am tired of dead animals mounts around the place. Now if I had a separate trophy room, yea. But I don't and am just collecting racks and doing euro mounts. A nice euro mount does more for me, but better yet, great in the field pics excites me more than anything.

    The only animals I will ever have full body mounted (big game) are a mountain goat, mountain lion, and grizz/brown bear. Well actually a Chamois as well, but few people even know what that is. :d

    If I Ever shot a 220"+ deer, I'd likely sell it and just hang a reproduction on the wall. Use the money to go on my dream brown bear archery hunt.

    Me too.:deer:


    The only way I get a full body mount is if something on the body would dictate it. Such as an albino or piebald or some other cool abnormality.
