For all you college hunters out there
 
Any of you guys out there are showing off their love for hunting by having mounts in their dorm room? I know most places don't really allow it but you gotta do what you gotta do. The one on the right is by buddy's 10pt that he shot a couple years ago with a rifle and the one on the left is by first buck with a bow.

Nice!

When I was in college, I showed off my passion for hunting as well. I remember the mounts/guns turning off a couple girls, but oh well... lol

I would love to throw my antelope mount up in my dorm room but the room is way to small. I will be defiantly showing my stuff off as soon as me and my buddies get an apartment. Its to bad that it turns away the very liberal narrow minded girls though! Ohh well...I cannot stand people who talk about animal rights and being vegetarian.

nothing bigger than a tack can go through the walls in the dorm so mounts are a no go. However, we did talk to the school board and they let us keep our bows in the room(told them i was not about to leave a $1000 bow in my truck regardless of how "secure" the campus is). We just have to keep our shotguns in the trucks under our seats though.

Of course I have a mount in my dorm room!

Hunting and the Beatles. I certainly have a college room:D




Don't forget the fishing stuff in the corner. It's 'bout that time!

I tried the dorm thing at UC about3 years back.. Not for me, I'd rather commute. I likelooking out the window in the morningand seeing deer and turkeysin the pasture, not metro busses and homeless people drinking cheap vodka at 8 am. UC is an urban campus and I am far from an "urban" person..

But cool dorm rooms everyone, thats good to see

I displayed my 10 pt buck on in my dorm my senior year. Most folks thought it was really cool. Even many of the girls although first reaction was always fun. I was however, worried that someone would swipe it. This was the reason I waited till senior year when I knew most of the folks etc.

Funny thing... Girl friend always made me put my t-Shirt over it's head before we would start the laundry. Before her, my room mates get a kick out of me putting "protection" in the mouth of the deer each weekend. I was on the top bunk and the deer was pretty close. Just made a nice holder. Next morning it was also funny to see other pieces of clothing on it's rack.

That is something that I think OSU should kick out of the "have to'" as a freshman. I hated it, but believe me when you do move out it gets expensive fast. My advice is to find a job where housing is provided.

I have only these two up, its all the wife will let me have untill we get a bigger home (all we have now is an apartment inside a barn but hey its free so I wont complain). The euro mount is my biggest bow buck, shot him 4 yrs ago and just finished the mount like 2 months ago, thats just procrastination at its finest. The other is my first whitetail I ever shot, I am still pretty proud of him.
