That's why you need a hunting room or hunting cabin! We European mount every head that does not get shoulder-mounted. Although we are starting to run out of space even for the European mounts.




But you're right. Looking at each head brings back all of the memories of that hunt and that day. And that's why we keep and display them all.

I find that it is just amazing that I forget so many things from day to day. Yet I can look take one glance at any antler in my garage and I can replay every detail about how I acquired that antler! From the years spent along side my father to the hunts shared with friends, I can tell ya everything that happened that day.

I hope that when I am long gone, my boy will be able to pick up an antler and re-live the time spent together afield. My wife doesn't quite understand that though. That is why all of my antlers are in the garage! LOL! I moved the last deer head out there today. She strategically created a "beach theme" in our living room and stated "the deer heads just seem out of place".

Has anyone else experienced this?

many years ago, i sat down and wrote down a brief description of every deer that I had killed.....could do it now, if I took a mind to it.........

some things are worth remembering...
