Valentines Day Dilemma - 02/14/20 06:29 PM

My taxidermist has great timing and got last year’s cat back to me today - I either take this inside and hope the other half doesn’t notice when she comes home or lock it up in the shed for a couple of days. Not sure if chocolate and flowers will balance it out..

You could stick a bow on it and say something like, "Dear remember when you told me that was a beautiful bobcat that I caught? Well you're hard to shop for and I thought you might appreciate this, so Happy Valentine's Day my love."

Abort abort lol. That would probably end up like the time I bought my wife a vacuum cleaner for her birthday. Even though I had a card and was going to take her out for dinner, it did not go well. I would hide it grin

Chocolates and flowers and take her out to eat should do the trick.

For the wife I bought a dozen red Rose's and a box of chocolate, and I'm sure I'm providing dinner. I received obscenities and hand gestures.

The daughter got a dozen yellow (her favorite color) Rose's, box of chocolate, and we gave her a gift card. She didn't seem that impressed either.



My advice is burn the cat mount, or hide it for at least 6 months

My wife and I stop doing Valentine’s Day. I always have just sent her flowers and cards to her office at spermatic times of the year. This has always gone way farther than the guys that do Valentine’s Day. The girls in her office are always commenting about how lucky she is to have valentine day year round. I think it means more when it’s not expected.

Put a plaque With her name on the driftwood and say happy Valentines Day dear.

Good luck on all that. I shot a deer Monday night, but only brought back the meat (no taxidermy), and today for Valentines day we drove an hour into Spain and ate at what I call the Temple of Red Meat. Among other dishes we polished off 3 pounds of aged ribeye cooked over oak coals and had some nice Spanish wine.

For anybody who gives a hoot.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJ71mcyvzrI

Your bobcat looks nice but I'd stick it in the shed for a day or two.

I bought my wife two pairs of reader last week. I thy told her Happy Valentine’s Day. All good. Cooking ribeye tonight. Tell the truth up front, why didn’t you talk to her before you had it done. Sometimes guys bring conflict on themselves.

^ ^ She knew I was getting something else mounted, it was just the timing. I took it on in and put it in the game room with all the others figuring it would just blend in - she saw it in about 10 seconds and said "hey, that's a new one, it looks good..". I'm lucky to have her.

A homemade valentine will do the trick. Big dinners are soon forgotten, chocolates are soon forgotten, store bought valentines are soon forgotten. A homemade valentine will be remembered forever. After you give the gift that keeps on giving break out the cat and say, "look what I got today."

I agree.

We seem to have lost our way here in more ways than one.

I'd leave it in the truck. Give her the Valentine gift and tell her that your bobcat mount was done and get it to show her. To bad it wasn't a bear skin rug.

Put it in the house. Just meet her at the door with a card and flowers. Then go to the shed for a while.

If you had not told her a full body mount of a fairly large mammal was coming to your house then it is not February 14, 2020 that is the tough day. There was a year to find out where this would fall out.

Glad it worked out. I'd love to see a couple more pictures of the mount.
