    Fair, but disappointed there isn't a big red ball over his nose. LOL!

    I work for a sporting goods store and the girls always want to put hats on the mounts. I hate it. Totally disrespects the animal, IMO.

    My fiance has tried to do this the last 2 years.

    I told her absolutely, positively, no way in hell its happening. This is one thing I won't let happen. I told her she can put as much decoration up around the house as she wants, but nothing is going on my mounts.

    We have a good understanding now and it really wasn't that big of a fight, but I had to get my point across.

    My stance on the critter sleeper thing goes for this as well, a slap to the face is in order

    I think you guys need to lighten up a little. It's a freakin' deer mount.

    ughh... really? you guys take your heads that seriously? let the family enjoy them for a couple days as much as you do year round. I wish I was home right now to post a pic of our big Vermont bull moose that still has a santa hat from last Christmas propped up on his head. My little bros think it was the coolest thing to decorate them for the holidays and it actually makes them that much more interested in the mounts and hunting in general. Creating a positive vibe around the mounts and hunting for that matter for our families is probably the most important thing we can do. We are the ones that vanish for 2+ months every Fall let alone shed hunting, working the land all summer and preseason scouting... I'm not saying to let the kids hang from the mount but lighten up fellas. Its not disrespecting the animal its making it a part of your family's celebration.

    My only problem is that the decorations hide the antlers.

    I will never hang anything on my mount. I will show him the respect he deserves. I didn't shoot him to hang stuff on him, that's what trees are for!
