Default Memory & Experience VS. Wall Hanger.

Guys...I'm flopping around here indulging in my passion for memories of my hunts and the chills that run from each harvest...a sun rise...a braking branch, a coopers hawk taking a dove just before a doe kill...

How many of you are into mounts on the wall?

How many of you embrace your experiences and hold them in your heart?....
I love my hides on the wall...but I'm an emotional guy and embrace the moments...

Schultzy...you may enter at anytime....[8D]

Are you on Estrogen pills!!??

Is there some reason that you can't have both? All of it put together is what my memories are made of.

Now here's a useless poll. It's like asking a bunch of guys at The Animal House if they enjoy toga parties.

a little of both for me.

memories made afield are priceless...weather its seeing a redtail nail a tweety bird out of the air, or watching a buck make a rub or scrape, or watching a squirrel get ready for a long winter...i enjoy it all. try not to let those "little things" pass me by as i hunt.

but, mounts for the wall are also about memories. i got a button buck hide at the tannery and a 1.5yo buck at the taxidermist. why? they arent "trophys" hopefully wont be my biggest or last...but they were both "firsts" first bowkill buck and the button buck was my first kill with the flintlock...i got a squirrel mounted...it is a real unique color...i got a 13 inch trout mounted!! only because it was beautiful and died before i landed it...figured why waste it? it looks awesome on my wall.

who wouldnt love to fill a room with giant buck mounts? who knows how many more i may have mounted...i might mount the next one i kill...i might not have another mounted for a long long time...when i kill him, i will decide what im doing with him. i dont kill bucks to mount them...id go broke quick, and run out of room on the wall lol...some might say why kill them if im not going to mount them?? i love venison and love to hunt and fill the freezer and even small antlers are special to me and get put on the wall...

I would have to chose both as well every time i look at one of my mount on my wall i replay the hunt in my mind not just the kill but everything that happened that day or even days leading up to the day of the kill. Thats why i hunt, memories and something for the wall

I'm sorry Brian but that is too funny not to highlight
I trophy hunt but part of being a good hunter is woods awareness. I take in all that is happening and find enjoyment in all the other things that happen around me.
