Anyway, as a kid, I would go hunting with my dad a lot. We would go on horseback (technically mules, but I don't think muleback is a word). I never had any luck deer hunting, instead I just got beat up by riding through crazy terrain while I froze my behind off. (Unfortunately, my behind came back.) Now, here comes the shocker. Wait for it, wait for it...
When I was fourteen, I shot a cougar. Can you even believe that? Me neither, but I did. It was a good bonding moment for my pops and me. I will always remember that experience, and he will too, because it's mounted (full body) in his basement where it will stay forever.

ReplyDeleteEwww I just realized you had this other blog! I love it! and just got so inspired to decorate better! I have 3 sets of antlers at our house right now, and I must say that they are my favorite pieces!
ReplyDeletethanks for your sweet cooment and im sorry for anything you have had to go through. I just left the ultra sound place and I could tell on the womans face that it wasnt good :(
Growing up in a family with a Dad and brother who hunted, I can appreciate these designs ... way cooler than just a deer head hanging off the wall ;) And I do really like the design of the chandelier and the candlesticks.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine shooting a cougar ... WOW! And I definitely would be freaked out by walking around a full body mount of it.
Stopping by from SITS - have a great weekend!
