RE: Illinois harvest pins
I used to keep mine in a "zip lock" type bag on the top shelf in my gun safe and never displayed them. One year for Christmas one of my anti hunting sister in laws thought it was funny I didn't harvest a deer and bought me a stuffed deer about 14 inches tall. Actually it was a moose but she didn't know the difference. I took all my pins and started to attach them to the body and out on each antler and now have it setting on top of my gun safe in our bedroom closet out of sight. Except when said sister in law visits. Then it "comes out of the closet" and sits on the fire place mantle till she leaves. Always a comment from me how many pins are on the stuffed "deer". I'm starting to run out of space so I been thinking of asking her for a new one this Christmas.
