People here have given you great advice. Congrats, On a great deer.. I am in the same boat as everyone else. I would go with A semi sneak or semi upright. You could go with a pedestal of some kind as well. I encourage you do as much research as you can take. It can be a pretty overwhelming process but fun. Note that there will be variances in each of the companies forms for each position. They don't always have the same degree turn nor do they have the same facial features on the form. Each of the companies forms were sculpted by different person.. who had a certain idea in how they think a deer should look.. It's an art form and therefore, you will have a lot differences in how each form looks. Also, Keep in mind that semi uprights help ad "height" to a rack. It gives off kind of tall, majestic look.. You can't go wrong with Semi sneaks either. Though again, I encourage you to compare each of the companies semi sneaks and note the differences between the forms.
I encourage you to maybe give us what you are looking for in a mount. Whether you want in to present a certain 'attitude' or you want to capture the look it gave you before you harvested it. The forms (companies) all have there plus and minuses.. They are half of what makes a good mount.. The other half is the taxidermist. Now, I don't know for sure whether you are going to mount this yourself or having someone else do it. I encourage you to pick a taxidermist that you are impressed by their work if you are having someone else do it. Once it's mounted.. that's it! You are stuck with the finish product. Also, don't be afraid to offer input in the kind of materials used for your mount. After all, it is your mount. Customer approval should be the goal of every taxidermist. Or at least, one worth having..
Don't be afraid to reply and offer what you are thinking. I want you to be satisfied with your mount for many years to come..

I have seen some deer that Rocky Scovel did, he is out of Indianola. That is where I will be taking my deer. I think a semi sneak will look the best honestly, with a left turn. I love the curved tines on his right side. I will for sure be doing some comparing when I get there! I want my first big one the best one (at least for my memory, I wanna kill the biggins).
