Default RE: Cape question?

No offense taken. You see 10 years ago I wanted to hunt the world and as a sub plot I was going to fill up a room with all the mounts. Well, its 10 years later and I've been from the Arctic to Africa, Africa more than once. Now days its far more about the hunt than filling up a room. For what I've got in taxidermy and shipping stuff back from our last 2 trips to Africa,the shipping alone was over $4k[&:],I could more than pay for our next trip. In fact I cound pay for ournext trip and about 1/2 ofmy caribou hunt[:@].When you add to that the small size fo our house I just can't see it. Sure I could add a "trophy room" on to the house or buy a bigger house but our goals are to hunt not spend more on a house. We've got a limited income and if we have to choose, bigger house and more taixdermy vs more hunting. Well... hunting is going to win every timeBTW I still plan to mount a few things along the way, just not everything. From now on most things with horns or antlers will be European mounts.
