I need to make a trip to Vanclieve real soon. I have to go to the taxidermist and pick up some things i have gotten mounted. I have two deer, two ducks, a bass, and a trout all mounted. I asked him to save everything until it was all finished. It has been almost a year since i gave it to him to mount. I always save stuff I want to get mounted until I have enough stuff to last him a while. I have one deer to be mounted that I shot last weekend. It was my first deer of the year. Im going duck hunting next weekend, so hopefully I will have a few ducks to get mounted by then. I have several geese and mallard ducks mounted, but I want to get a wood duck, and a pintail duck mounted next.
Most of these mounts are at the hunting camp my family owns. We have a house with a huge living room in the middle that we all hang stuff in. Along with there, I have several things mounted at my house in Gulfport. My father an I are avid hunters, and we have many trophies. All of our friends that come to the house or camp say that we have the best collection. At home we have somewhere around 20 deer mounted, 3 turkeys, 4 hogs, 10 or 12 ducks, two bobcats, and numerious fish from both fresh and salt water. we keep them all in our hunting room, where we keep all of our hunting and fishing stuff. My mother hates it, but she doesn't say much since we keep it in one room upstairs instead of all over the house.
