RE: Less of a deer hunter???
shoot what makes ya happy, thats all that really matters..
mounts, hides, skulls, for me, all taxidermy is a form or artwork and constant reminder of the great times I have enjoyed in the woods. I, like Jeff, feel that a mount is done and up ....out of respect for the critter... If I wanted to show mine off I'd put them all up my big living room gable end walls, vaulted ceilings etc.. instead I keep my whitetails and sheds pretty much hidden in my basement and am very selective whom I share them with..I enjoy sharing them with folks that appreciate taxidermy and a good hunting story...for those reasons, Ishare them with my friends here, family but rarely visitors..
