The price you pay at Christmas

[Wiley64]

When the Christmas decorations come out- I let my wife do her thing. She has to live with all the wild animals all year so if she has to doll these mounts up to help her cause for a couple of months, I have to go with the flow. Does anybody else have a spouse that incorporates their trophies into the holiday decor?

My wife wants me to hunt a buffalo so she can dress it up seasonally…

My wife asked me one year if she could spray paint the 'old antlers in the shed' gold for Christmas.

Needless to say, she got the 'What do you think?' look.

Yes I do!

Ha! I’d take that deal!

My spouse likes to doll them also...

This thread reminds me of a Canadian case I used to teach, in which such treatment was held by the court to be 'distortion or mutilation'

Yes, she'll put red beads and hang stuff of them. I don't complain one bit, and truthfully, she does a great job decorating them. I'll have to take pictures this Christmas and post them here.

The wife and kids really enjoy decorating the house and tree for Christmas but the taxidermy is off limits and doesn’t get decorated.

lol.. I read the thread title and took things more literally...

I pay thousands upon thousands at Christmas.. booking next years hunts, buying new rifles, etc (thankfully the wife prefers kimbers over jimmy choo I suppose)..

I wish the only price I had to pay was some lights strung across my cape buff euro mount!

My wife asked me about that this morning!


NO WAY.







Now, if she will pay for the next buffalo hunt and the head can hang in the 95% of the house that she controls, then she can dress him like a Yule Lad all year long.

My wife knows better than to "decorate" my numerous mounts lol
But I would never begrudge anyone who did

My wife loves to decorate for Christmas and I’m more than happy to supply her with things to decorate! Next year, the good Lord willing, I’ll provide a Sable, Nyala and an Eland for her to work her magic.

 

[Andrew Short]

My wife does the exact same thing.

Yep santa's reindeer, sable,eland, kudu all line up for the sled lead by MR blue diker.

Sorry guys, this thread just gives me another dam good reason why I have no wife.

No wife=blissful life.

Every year this happens and my wife truly has a ball doing it.

I consider it the welcome of great memories and I toast the memory of each hunt.

I admit it - I really enjoy it all.

Happy Holidays to you all!
