Hey guys...my mom shot this nice 9pt buck this rifle season. Hes got a real nice 5 on one size and then a big Y on the other. No broken points just the way he grew. Which kind of pose would he look best with? he looks big from some angles

Do you want to highlight the big fork, aor do you want to show off the side with all of the points?  Is tehre any issues with either side of the face & cape?

It will also depend on what wall you will hang him on, But me personnally I would go with a semi sneak right turn to highlight the all the points.

Upright or semi up left turn. The left turn will present the better side out front and get the attention. I killed an 8 point that had a taller side similar to that in '06. Wide spread, four points on each side,  just had smaller tines on one side.
