Thanks guys! This was a great hunt that will always be remembered. When we hung the mount up my wife sent pictures to her friends saying "Oh god , now we are going to relive the hunt". I am very happy with the mount and how it looks above the fireplace. To answer the score question, he is a low 330 bull that has a great frame, but weak thirds. Field photo attached for comparison with the mount.

That's a great looking bull! What was the reasoning behind mounting it off-center on the overmantel/cladding….?

Great bull and nice mount, but like wild1 asked, why off center?

Thanks for all the kind words. The mount is hung a little off center because that is as close to center as I could find a stud to anchor it to. If actually drilled about a dozen small holes in the mortar trying to find a stud, this was as close as I could get. I might still get my friend who did the cultured stone work to see if he can help find a on center support.
