RE: Deer Mount question?
Well, I think that 21" is on the small side for a buck of that size. Most of the ones that I get mounted, that field dress between 190 and 205, have 23-24" forms. The 220 lb deer I shot in Ill. had a 28" form. Most of these were shot in November. Usually earlier season deer have slightly smaller forms.

I took the deer in Nov 06 and just kept the antlers until then. He told the mounts were drying pretty quick.

Does 21 inches seem right for the circumference of the neck on a mount judging by my pic of this buck? I went and brought the rack in last friday and should be ready in 2 weeks. The son showed me the form and seemed small.

I have watched my buddy mount many deer and have saw countless others at his studio and have never saw a 23+ inch neck on a whitetail...... Please post photos.
