    First moose: is he worth euro mounting?

    I'm debating if I should just skull cap or go through the trouble of doing a euro mount.
    I have several nice deer euro mounts on our wall. I'm wondering if the antlers on this moose would look too small for the size of the head.
    Maybe I've been watching too many videos of Alaskan moose hunts.
    What do you guys think?

    Also how old do you think he is?
    Thanks!

    Congrats on your moose, I'd say year and a half old.
    Only you can decide on mount or cap.

    May also depend on how involved your euro process is
    I did up this years 3 pt elk just to hang in the yard as a reminder of a special hunt
    Skin it, pull the tongue, hook the brains and eyes out, a quick boil and then let the bugs and wasps do the cleanup
    natures way almost
    Glad to say I have hunted Northern BC

    Simon Fraser had pretty good judgement on what he found in BC

    Who cares about others opinion on this, it’s what YOU like. I’d personally do the euro. Big or small they all look cool.

    Only one first moose. It will look great as a euro and you have it as a nice memory piece.
    If the world is warming why are there so many new snowflakes?

    If we are all equal why do you demand special treatment?

    You can not comply your way out of tyranny.

    if you are undecided, do the euro. Can always cap it lat a later date if you change your mind.
