re: Advice; shoulder or skull

Shoulder mount if you consider him a trophy, especially if he is your first trophy. My first nice buck was about that size and I shoulder mounted him.

I do like the way skull mounts look, did that on my last 8.

Sound like ya'll have a lot of bucks where you hunt, so I'd put him in the freezer until the season is over to make sure you don't kill a bigger one.
