[QUOTE="Rebell, post: 2618264, member: 97236"] Congratulations on a fine buck. Like said, net is for fishing and gross works. A old taxidermist friend Bob White always told me - “No hook, no book”. Meaning that lots of length is hidden in a horn that hooks. My longest horned goat is 17” but it has a tremendous amount of hidden length in the huge hook. But I have a 15” that scores better. A recommendation for you - avoid boiling if you go Euro and find someone with bugs and does decreasing / whitening. Boiling makes it fragile and you can lose parts. Also once the horn can come off, get some bondo on the inside to reduce shrinking. They shrink a bunch over the years. I have both full shoulder mounts and euro’s and enjoy having them in the house. My first is mounted and likely one of my smallest. The size was not why, it is the memory. Congratulations again on a fine trophy. [/QUOTE]
