I have yet to have one mounted myself and was thinking about if my little man got his first buck whether I would or not. What would the size limit be? Did any of ya'll mount your first? Thinking back I wish I would have it was a seven point not bad but not great either. Now when I kill a nice buck I think I will get one bigger to mount but the bigger has yet to get big enough

If its worth mounting I would. I wouldnt mount a 4 pt just because it is his first.

Yeah I guess an antler mount would be fine or maybe even a skull mount.

My dad mounted my first buck which happened to be my first deer. It was a really pretty 8 point though with about an 18" inside spread Most people would have mounted it unless they already had something bigger on the wall

I was kind of thinking of a skull mount if it's a small one. I have been to peoples houses where they mounted small 6 pointsand thought it was cool that they did it.

I told my little girl that I would mount her first deer. I didn't say buck, but I figured it was implied. She proceeded to tell me that she wanted to kill a doe because her room is a girl room and boys aren't allowed. She also said she could dress up a girl deer. I don't know how I'm gonna handle it when she actually kills one.

I would have to let her shoot a doe and mount it for her!

Mounted my son's first 8 point. He'd killed a few smaller ones that we put on a board

That's gonna be one of those things that someone finds long afte y'all are gone and asks "wtf did they mount a Doe for?!"

If put "babygirl wanted it mounted" on the plate JJ

I have a little girl and I can completely see my baby girl saying this.

My son killed a 4 pt wed night. We're gonna skull mount it. He just killed another buck with the ranch hand. They think it's 8 or 9 so we'll see if it's worth mounting.

I, on the other hand, am the anti-axis.

I would never mount a deer that I shot but If my kid gets one and wants it mounted I would consider it a Christmas present.
