I’m not super confident but I think it’s a Nilgai https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nilgai

Weird looking animal, you'd never guess the bulk of the thing looking at the mount

Very opposite of "I've got a big head and little arms."

You look at it and think, oh it's like a deer. Then you see a picture of it and it's like a pit bull antelope

That’s a nilgai antelope. Native to Indian, but feral throughout Texas where most trophy mounts come from.
