First mount I've ever gotten, started hunting in 2017. I'm happy with the mount so you won't hurt my feelings any. But what is everyone's honest opinion on my mount? Thanks in advance!

I’d be happy with that on my wall. I’ve been hunting for 35 years and bow hunting most of that. I have some really nice bucks that I’d love to put on the wall but just can’t bring myself to pay the money to get them there. I have a nice 20” wide typical 12 point that I’d like to mount and I think I’m going to just learn to do it myself. I’ve watched quite a few be mounted be friends that do it so I’m pretty sure with all the info out there and the help of a couple friends I could do it. And again be proud of that one. Looks good.

My only area of the mount to critique would be the eyes look a little over done like previously mentioned. They are positioned right, which a lot of people mess up , so they did good there. The top eye lids just look like they are over worked, almost like its got make up on to draw attention.

Most mounts you can find something, and some are terrible that people think are great. If that's less than a $550 mount id say you got your $ worth as far as quality.

Very handsome buck too, congrats!
