my first deer mount

[caseysmom]

I hunt for meat. The last thing I consider is the rack. Bonus if it is nice.

No problem with with trophys on the wall.... But I am amazed at the lack of responce from those who ruined my harvest thread. (Karen?????)

haha! The thing that got me was my fiances friend and his girlfriend were over the other day while I was working on a mount. She was talking about how bad she felt for the deer ( which I understand but like I said I think hunting is important for the environment) and the whole time she is talking about how much she doesn't like taxidermy, she is wearing a leather belt and boots, she had pictures on her myspace of her holding two dead squirrels her boyfriend shot, and she has even ate deer meat at our house. I just smile and nod, lol... that's all I can do.

I dont care for trophy mounts, Ive seen to many animals taken just for the mounts. Even if the animal was taken for food as the primary purpose, I still dont care for the mounting.

I too am amazed the drama lamas that got Pucks thread deleted havent over taken this thread with their disgust of the killing of a wild creature being mounted as a trophy. After all this is a animal loving website. Wait this is a pet web site and deer arent pets, why was Puc...thre.......

Wait... what?

ETA: Stace, I understand its hard work and takes skill, you did a good job.

By the way, I've often wondered, how does one mount a fish? Is any real part of the fish actually used? Or is the real fish just used as a model? It would not seem to me that fish skin could be tanned and used like mammals skin. Random question ... LOL

Oh... I want to know the answer to this too. I hadn't really thought of that before.

Stacie... do you and your boyfriend only do Deer or has he done other things too?
