The price you pay at Christmas

[Kevin Peacocke]

My buffalo gets tinsel every year, and the dog. And of course the Landies.

 

[MT Griz]

Ah, yes Kevin my mounts get decorated ever year for Christmas too. The price I pay for having too many of them I guess!

 

[Tintin]

It's certainly that time of year.

The hound has copped the yuletide treatment.

My wife started her decorating today. The elf is on the mink I got for my wife one year, I think she was expecting something different.

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

Lol!!!! We need to trade wives!!!

Nothing says Merry Christmas quite like decorated taxidermy!

 

[K E Johnson]

Not completely taxidermy, because the old Herter‘s decoy is decorated by my wife and daughter.
Two years ago it mysteriously disappeared and was not decorated. Last year it was decorated, but it grew legs with spurs…..

Four in our group so far. My wife now has one too, the station wagon

Beautiful fire place

 

[Jörg Krüger]

Well, If the wives can decorate our Hunting stuff with Christmas decorations, we sure can decorate their Christmas decorations with our Hunting stuff.

No elves?

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?

Just don't break those fragile ears...

 

[Seavas]

Skulls get to stay on the mantle year round if she gets to decorate them at Christmas. Compromise, my friends.

 

[Tokoloshe Safaris]

My wife has a Buffalo pedestal mount in the sitting room. At Christmas time it has a Santa hat skewered on one horn, that is our Christmas tree. 5 seconds to put up 2 seconds to take down.

I am a sucker for skull mounts. The only trophies I have are skulls and a Zebra skin. My wife had the most amazing idea 2 years ago, she saw a picture of mounts that had been engraved and painted… I no longer have any skulls in my house!

Pictures!?

I would have no problem if my bride wanted to decorate the mounts. But I did draw the line when she wanted to get “cute” sweaters for my (ok, “our”) two Labs. Just can’t agree to put a cutesy shirt on a couple of 90lb dogs that itch to tear the throat out of the coyotes that whoop it up nearly every night near the house.
Although now that I think about it…Kevlar?
