Nice picture 330.I do to

My mule deer from Wyoming Full sneak with slight turn to deers right

Great Picture 330!!!

Nice mounts Bruce!

Another good looking buck!

One thing to take into consideration is how high you intend to hang the mount. If you have high ceilings and walls, and are going to display the mount at a higher level, you might want to consider a sneak type mount with the head lower. Alert style mounts look better when hung lower.

Thanks Snowy. I consider myself extremely lucky to have had a crack at that deer. That unit has gone way down hill in the last few years due to CWD.

It took me 8 years to draw the tag. It was the only big buck we saw.

Semi sneak is an all around great position. I mount 250-300 antlered mammal shoulder mounts a year and 90% of those are semi sneaks with a slight turn. Ears in a relaxed natural position. Knowing where it will be hung determines the turn. Some deer have a strong side and look better turned one way than the other. Typically you turn a deer to its strong side to showcase it the best. Make sure you pick a good taxidermist that uses a good properly tanned cape.
