What pose for this buck?

This isn’t an Iowa buck, but just looking for input. I caught up with this buck right before Christmas, and because of his uniqueness with the mass, extra beam, and cape coloration, I decided to shoulder mount him.

Trying to decide what pose I want to use that will do him justice and show off the extra beam and all.

My initial thought is have his head turned to his right like in the right side image of the side by side pics. I feel that looking into the rack that way shows that lower beam off better, but that is just my preference. Congratulations on the unique buck!

I think you're going to want something like this. Lower the head and I think it'll showcase that unique point and forehead. Nice deer!

I’ve been considering something like the Revolution Relaxed Sweep, but modifying a Mears Semi-Sneak for that pose.

Got my buck back, and my taxidermist absolutely killed it on this one!

Beautiful cape!

Yes it is, I only thought it looked good when I dropped it off, but the end result is phenomenal!
