Advice; shoulder or skull

Short version: My first nice 8. Should I skull or shoulder?

Full version (with :csb:): For years I've been a cull buck magnet. I've killed a couple with one nice side, but one screwed up side. This continued on Friday, when a nice (supposed) 10 pt walked by with a doe. He was broke off at the brow tine on one side. I didn't take him.

The next a.m., I kept hearing does flush in a gum thicket about 90 yards away. They were upwind, so it wasn't me. After I got down, I slipped over to check it out, and heard a snort/wheeze about 40 yards through the thicket. I hit my grunt and here he come. I couldn't see him till he came trotting around a tree about 10 yards out with his head down looking to kick some arse. He was probably thinking, "I'm gonna kick that half-racked bastard's arse."

We were face to face for a millisecond, and he split. I saw him through a hole in the thicket, but the shot was marginal at best so I restrained myself. I watched him hook a tree through the brush and decided that he was not leaving the area b/c of the does. So, I slipped out, and came back that afternoon to move my stand before the hunt (very slowly and methodically).

About 4:30 I heard him flush the does, and I grunted, but he wouldn't come in. He chased them through the thicket, and when he was downwind of me, he stopped. I hit the grunt again, and being able to walk into the wind, he was braver. He came in, pegged me, but was distracted by the tinks on the branch beside me. So, when he dropped his head, I got him.

He's my first symetrical 8 (i.e. not screwed up on one side). Although he's not a monster, its nice to get that first one, especially with the back story. I'm trying to decide whether to shoulder mount him (at my wife's urging), or skull mount him. I've got neither so far. What say ya'll.
