Is it uncommon to strip the neck and shoulder? Ill admit having never hunted the mainland im not real familiar with what one takes in terms of meat.
I really try to take everything. I figure if I take the life of an animal I owe it to the game to make the most use of the game. I sometimes even go through the trouble of taking the meat off the lower legs if I have the time to separate it from the tendons and so forth.
I have never had a head mounted even though I save the horns. They can be used for knife handles or given to someone who can use them. And I have several 8 points plus 9, 10, 11 and one really nice 12 point. All the antlers are saved in my attic. Including the 5x5 elk antlers that would really make nice knife handles.
