So, I figured I'd share what happens when you leave deer at your mother's house for too long. They begin to blend in with their surroundings, I call it, Mamo (mom camo). The full head mount (small I know) was the first buck I ever killed, I was 15 and it was my first rifle season. He now wears a bandana and a belt... lol.. The antler only mount was my first bow buck, also when I was 15 and the second deer I shot with a bow that year (first was a bb). I just recently bought a house and finally have a place for these guys (along with a couple others), and my future wife tells me it's in the garage (what she doesn't know, may hurt her... lol). Just thought it was funny that two of my deer have become trees for hanging ornaments. (Luckily the others I have are stored somewhere else... lol)
Dude, all my mounts have been demoted to the basement! I pick my battles with my wife carefully! Take heed my friend. Sal
