Dave, this trip will double the mounts. I have only mounted a few of the animals I have taken as they were either unique or special to me. The trophy room is being built at the new house we have under construction, so once that's done these can go into one room.
I mounted the first deer I got, a four point muley. My dad, brother and son were on that hunt with me. My dad had taken so many deer he'd lost count but when I dropped this deer and we all were standing over it he said' "you have to mount this one." Long story short he went on to say he'd never taken as nice and symetric a deer, so I mounted it.
The bear in this room was also my first black bear of three. Nearly 6 feet squared and special for the friends that were there and since it was my first.
(Don't mind my unpacking from the NZ trip, I'm sorting through the stuff I need to pack for a fishing trip to Manitoba this coming Saturday.)
