I often see mounts for sale and sometimes the cost is about as much as I’d spend getting one mounted. My house is almost wall to wall with animals my wife and I have killed. They are personal trophies to me that I can reflect on and remember the fun I had hunting them. I personally can’t imagine buying a mount and hanging it up if I didn’t kill it. I can see businesses buying them simply to decorate their establishment. Have any of y’all actually bought an animal mount you didn’t kill and displayed it in your home, office, man cave, etc.? If so, why? Not judging just looking for other perspectives from folks who do this.

I will soon. Friend of the family divorced and her husband had left a lot of mounts behind before he moved to south america with his mistress.
I would rather hang them than end up in a the city dump. I also wanted to buy a badger mount from a member that looked great. Shipping would have killed the deal. Would rather buy that nice badger mount than send one to taxi and come back looking like poo.

Not really a stranger...but I got my grandpa's deer mounts that he shot in Hearne and Del-Rio. They mean a lot to me. Its amazing that the one he shot in Hearne in the 60's is a little 10" basket six ....but that was a trophy back then. So much he had it mounted.Last edited by Man; 05-19-2022, 08:20 AM.
