… one good thing about em swamp is I can sit on the porch and tell the hunt about each to a friend

Shoot, nobody even mentioned to maybe save/cut into that burl at the bottom. May have a good grain to it??

Ya'll ever wonder what's gonna happen to all of your mounted deer heads/skull mounts/racks/other taxidermy?

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

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.

Hey Swamp, just set your trophies out by the drive or even along the road. I think Smash has a sixth sense for roadkill stuff and she will down to get it, lol.

Lol, I was thinking that also!

You think those mounts are trash ?. Put them on internet for sell. These rich city folk or even restaurants want things like that. You do know you can sell deer antlers. Sell the crap out anything you won't use and then spend the money. Only live once........
