First Mulie!!!

[Shermdog]

So this morning I went out to region 3-29 in search for a mulie buck. After startling off 3 moose, and seeing 2 does, I looked back towards the road and saw a deer crossing, about 200+ yards away....so I glassed him and turns out he had antlers. Time to put my game face on, so I snuck a little closer untill he was 150+ yards away, crouched down and used my elbow and knee as a rest. lined him up with my browning 270 wsm...BANG, and he lunged forward, then did a 180 and back to the bush. I came up to where he was when i shot, and didnt see any blood, I kept walking and there was a trial of blood, just further away than I thought. He was laying in the ditch beside the road, approx 15 feet from where I shot him. Perfect shot, right behind the shoulder, broke some ribs, blew up half the heart and then out the other side. He turned out to be a 3x2, but at one point looked like he was a 4x3 who got into a fight and broke some tines. He wasnt a monster, but not tiny either, Id say avg size!! All in All I am very thrilled, now that I have officially lost my hunting V card (other than grouse) haha ! And I want to say thanks to HBC member Jelvis for his advice and tips on finding this bad boy!!

I need some help. I got the butcher to saw off the top of the skull with the antlers on, so I could mount them. I am wondering what the best way is to do this. I want to mount the top of the skull with antlers on a would frame or slab like a plaque. I don't know where to start or how the proper way is. Thanks for advice in advance

Not a bad one to start with. Congratulations.
