Not to be the guy to screw up the joke aspect of this, but you don't see that as a bit disrespectful to the animals? I mean, think about it.. You had them mounted to show your respect for them and to display them. Then you hang Christmas lights on them? That isn't the least bit degrading? Just my .02

No, I love my mounts and I'm very thankful God made it possible for me to be so lucky, I don't see it as degrading - the thought never really crossed my mind. JMHO cool.gif

hmmm... perplexing post there Oneida, I know the exact picture you are referring to. BUT Merry Christmas!, I'm not going to dig it up... its just not necessary. FOR THE RECORD, these animals are still regal beasts in my heart! They are kings of my basement apartment, and they are the first things I'd run outside with if the place was on fire... Actually my laptop and the 10 point, then I'd come back for the 8... but nevertheless you get my point (I respect my kills).

Martin, there never were any entrails hanging out.. except for the groundhog I shot this past June. That thing eviscerated itself and I wasn't about to pick up the guts and put them under it for a picture.

Gore has nothing to do with hanging lights on the mounts. Blood and gore is a part of hunting.

Anyway, sorry if I annoyed anyone with my comment.

DONT LEAVE THOSE LIGHTS ON UNATTENDED. They can and very easilly will set a fire to the fur and your mounts will be ruined. It happend to my next door neighbor, burned his entire left side of his house.

Looks good though

Squirrelhunter, you didn't offend me at all, seriously. I knew exactly your thoughts, its cool.

Shane, Buckee,

I did place these lights on the "slow flash" setting for fear of them getting hot and burning fur. They run cool on slow flash, and I've only had them on for an hour or so the past two nights while watching tv in that room. They do get hot on steady burn, although I could still grasp the bulbs firmly and not burn my fingers... Thanks for the suggestions, and gladly I did think of this before putting them on steady burn! cool.gif Do we have a smiley face on fire????? hahaha, yet not really funny at all... The lights are coming down now everyone!
