Re: How do you choose whether or not to mount an animal?
I chose all 4 answers also. Obviously if it's bigger than what I have I'll mount it but if it strikes my fancy I'll mount it also. Just depends on the circumstances.

For Whitail it has to be bigger than what I already got, or very special circumstances that's for a shoulder mount. I would Euro mount everything else. I have a nice Tom Turkey mounted, probably last turkey full body mount unless I get a unique color phase. I will probably mount a bear, if I get one this fall, no matter what the size.

For a fish I would fall on the side of letting it go. Especially if I know it was a large female. I would take accurate girth, weight, and length measurements but would be very happy with a replica mount.
I have not done a full head mount on any of the bucks I have taken. One reason being I have not shot one that I think warrants it
The other is that I really don't have a good place to put it in my house, so putting the money into a mount I can't adequately display is hard for me to justify.
