Don't know why we save em. Don't mean much to anyone except the person that killed the buck. And to that person....the rack is mostly like an idol. Thank God For Your Blessings!

Should've gave him all of them. Thank God For Your Blessings! Never Half-Arse Anything! Resource Protection Service

Yeah, thought about that many times. It's a BoxElder so it might have been an interesting burl. swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo You have to remember that 1 out of 3 Democratic Voters is just as dumb as the other two.

I have several shoulder mounts/several dozen skull mounts & dozens of deer racks/a black bear/wood duck/etc. I really enjoy looking at them on the wall. It brings back the hunt in full color with all the memories for me. BUT....these things don't generate those feelings for anyone else....not even our children. They are not gonna hang them up in their homes when you die. Don't even kid yourself...it won't happen. Maybe some of mine will end up in a BassPro shop or something where someone can see them. No one else will care...trust me. Maybe in your situation but when my dad passes me and my brother will take our picks and whatever his other grandkids don't want my daughter will take. He gave her a javelina rug the other day, already on her wall

Heck, I’ve got a few rocks that I collected and can tell you in great detail where I was and what I was doing when I found them. It’s sorta crazy that a rock can illicit a memory from 40 years ago, yet I couldn’t tell you what I did at work 3 days ago. Last edited by Wanna Be; 08/01/24 09:39 AM.

Whatever he didn't give away went into the trash after he died. I don't do mounts anymore, waste of money. Same thing will happen with all the military stuff I got over 38 years. Means nothing to anyone but me and my wife. She was with me for 35 of those years. For some reason she's still with me!

Trapper7 trapper T Joined: Dec 2006 MN, Land of 10,000 Lakes	Originally Posted by bucksnbears Guessing most of us have. I've had this stump right on the edge of my drive coming to my cabin. I cut the tree down bout 14 years ago but never got rid of the stump. Ugly as it was, I left it. Over the years, it had become a place my dogs (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) on every morning, a place I leaned my hoes/ rakes/ shovels against, put bird seed on and and even a few flower pots. have had a Walmart cheap solar light stuck in it for years. Have 4 great dogs buried close by. Knowing some day, it would have to go. Inspection this eve shown it was getting very rotten and was infested with ants. Never thought I'd be sad to burn a tree stump but I'm typing this while drinking a beer and watching an old (buddy) dissappear. That is a very unusual looking stump. I can see where you would hate to get rid of it. Bummer! Wife: That's the 4th time you've gone back for dessert, doesn't that embarrass you? Me: No, I keep telling them it's for you.
