Finally drew a Montana moose tag after 18 years of applying. I’m just going to assume this will be the only moose I ever harvest. For those of you that have harvested Shiras moose and went either euro or shoulder mounts would you mind posting pics of the final product?
In general, I have never been the biggest fan of shoulder mounts unless it is a truly outstanding buck/bull. I’m also not sure how I’d like a moose shoulder mount on 8’ walls. I’d like to see as many different head positions of shoulder mounts and how much room the mount takes up before September arrives. I have always liked a clean looking euro mount, but I’m not sure if a euro mount would do justice for a (likely) once in a lifetime permit.
Also, for those of you that did go the shoulder mount direction, how much of a pain in the ass was is to cape the bull in the field by yourself?? For those that went with a euro mount and sold the cape, how much did you get for it?
