I have always perfected a full shoulder mount to just a head/neck mount. It gives depth to the head as far as the actual size of the animal. Euro mounts also have their place, as for scoring it can and usually is done before the final mount has the antlers/horns mounted to it.
As for a trophy hunters, I consider myself a trophy hunter. But the word trophy means different things to different people. To the non hunters/animal rights people it means that the only thing that is kept is the head, or hide wasting the rest of the animal. I have a friend that thought that way until I told them just what is done with the meat on a African hunt and our hunts here in the US. At first they didn't believe that all the meat wasn't wasted until they looked in my freezer to see the nicely wrapped packages of meat from elk, mule deer, ducks, and geese.
Also as far as a trophy, I call all my animals that I shoot trophies. They don't have to be scored to be considered a trophy in my mind.
