If that were my deer I’d do a European. But I’m a tightwad and anything smaller than 180” doesn’t get a full shoulder mount for me lol I’ve never shot one that I did a shoulder mount on. One was close, I almost did. But the freezer went out and I lost the cape

What makes you and your wife happy is all I would concern myself with.
Asked your self a few questions . Was it big enough for you to shoot yes so obviously a trophy for you. Do you have the wall space and the extra cash to spend on the mount then mount it. If not a skull mount is nice I have done a few to save cash.
I dont care if it's a doe, spike or 220" buck mounts and trophies are a personal thing and if its something you cherish and have the means to preserve to suit your and wifes taste do it.
Nice buck congrats.
Edit: what's that saying about momma being happy again. Sounds like she wants it mounted.

Nice Deer!!
Sometimes its all about the hunt and not the antler size. Mounts (antlers period) are just dust collectors to me, but like anything its in the eye of the beholder. X2. Do as you please. I wouldn't care if it was a young 3 pt buck if it's significant to you and you want to, go for it. Plus your wife is on board

What does your brothers opinion have anything to do with it? Looks like a dandy buck and if you want it mounted get it mounted.

I think I might do a shoulder mount. It was the first deer my daughter helped me track and maybe some day I can give it to her when I’m old and she’s changing my diapers lol. Sounds like youl regret it if ya don't.Nice buck,,go for it.

the first one i mounted was about the hunt and the shot i made,huge no. the next two were big enough to justify,and i could afford it.last one i europeaned it, now nothing will get shoulder mounted unless its bigger than what i have on the wall.its all up to you and your wife,if you can afford it go for it
U GOTTA DO WHAT U GOTTA DO CAUSE IT IS WHAT IT IS....AINT NOTHIN WRONG WITH QUIET

my dad mounted my first buck a decent 9point but nothing like you see now days
it was Christmas and birthday that year
I just can't see putting that kind of money into one now a bunch of pictures and a rack mount yes
for the money I think I would take another trip with my son than hang something on the wall
if your wife wants it on the wall and you got the money just make her happy
