Anyone prefer skull mounts to shoulder mounts?

[El General]

We like both. But we have more Euros, because my husband likes to carve them. He is currently learning how to do shoulder and body mounts as well. Here’s pictures for reference.

Those carvings are amazing. My wife would kill for one. Does he carve them for other people?

I prefer shoulder mounts. Euros are probably my least favorite. I have three European mounts; one pronghorn, one aoudad and one whitetail killed last year I hung at the ranch. Have a bunch of shoulder mounts, to me a shoulder mount represents life and a skull is a reminder of death. I do like an antler mount when done with a nice plaque. I would euro a elk or red deer but I doubt I euro mount another whitetail, as I don’t want a bunch of skulls hung up on my walls. About a year ago I gave all my skull caps away, they didn’t fit the decor anymore and were just sitting in a box in the garage

I just like mounts in general… euro or shoulder or pedestal, or full body

I had 1 deer mounted in 1994. I'll never do it again. Don't care if it's a new world record. Mounting or not doesn't reflect my appreciation for the animal or the hunt.

I prefer the skulls and I'm cheap anyway so rather use the cash saved for more hunting and fishing.

I agree. I’d be interested too.

Yes, he does. He is finishing up a few currently and will be accepting more soon. This is mainly just a hobby for him right now.

I like them all. Older I get more I like euros over shoulder. I’ll only shoulder a Mega Giant going forward
