I think they would look much better on the LIVE body of the animal.
by anonymous on March 9th, 2007
Wow, the best decor you could come up with was the carcass of a dead animal? That's a bit disgusting. I mean, I like the look of your head... maybe I should hunt you, chop it off and mount you? Or even better, I could nail you to a board and hang you over my fireplace. Now wouldn't that be nice?
by Azimythe on December 30th, 2007
I think the same thing as when I see a leather couch, jacket, or shoes.
"What insecure man thought he was being big and tough by killing an innocent creature, and using it for something? That horrible person probably eats meat too, how cruel and barbaric!"

Wow that dead deer head just brightens up your room! Who is your decorator? Oh and wow I never thought about putting the turkey on the wall after thanksgiving! You guys are so holiday oriented I don't decorate at all

I think I better lock up my dog.

Well when I see animals on the wall many thoughts can go through my head:
I wonder what they used to shoot it? Bow or rifle? Where did they shoot it? When did they shoot it? Did it taste good? and could they take me hunting.
I have to say this: To all you animal rights freaks bemaoning the poor beast and crucifying the hunter in your answer, shut up. You have no clue about the real world and therefore have no right to speak. Maybe YOU should be on the wall somewhere
by tnobody on April 9th, 2007
I think "hey cool a hunter!"
Then I compare the size of the antlers, horns, or general size of the animal to others I have seen. Check the quality of the taxidermy (If its good I'll ask for the number of their taxadermist). Then I'll probably ask them about it. Bow/Rifle/Muzzleloader? Which state he/she got it in? ect.

The exact thought that comes into my head when I see animal mounts on a wall, "Imagine if that animal comes alive on the wall?". Then I usually start wondering if its real or not. After that, I start thinking about how they could kill an animal and mount it on their wall, and pray that my mom doesn't decide to get a fake one to put on our wall(she likes those kinds of things, but hates that the animal was killed).

I think its tacky.
by Beak 'Em Hawks on November 29th, 2007
honestly, i believe the more mounts the better. hunting is an enjoyable, thrilling activity. if a hunter kills a trophy buck, they sure as hell better put it up on the wall as there is no guarantee that another will come later down the road. to all the tree-hugging p.e.t.a. members, for those that are not vegetarians, where the hell do you think beef comes from? as long as something is done with the game that is killed i don't see what the problem is. when i see animal mounts on someone's wall, I think, "Whoever shot this game is a badass. He is one hell of a hunter."

Respect for that persons hunting and or fishing abilities.
by Cannabis its just a plant on July 28th, 2007
Jealousy, I wish that I would have killed that animal.
by kat tarrin-AYPWIP on April 9th, 2007
to bad i didnt get to help eat it
by blondecowgirl865 loves NC bbq on March 16th, 2007
i dont think much about it, everybody down here in the boondocks have animal mounts all over there house..
by Kevisaurus is a Carnotaurus today on March 16th, 2007
I wonder what sort of person has this morbid fascination with making these macabre plackards. Taxadermy has got to be one of the weirdest professions there can be. At least the undertaker's work is only seen for a day or so.
by Dragongrace on March 12th, 2007
I think that as long as you hunt painlessley hunting is fine. I like to train hunting dogs, becaues it is art to see that dog put up a grouse for you. And it is fun. But cutting their head off and sticking it on a wall... That is like the ultumate humiliation. I like fur-lined things, because that is actually serving a purpose. Still... I think that however many trophies you have it a symbol of how good of a hunter you are. I normally just take a couple sweet pics.
by Jarhead on March 11th, 2007
ok I see one side of it, all funny and interesting answers. How about the other side, what if you like it and why, im not biased by the way, just curious.
by Damiana on March 9th, 2007
I think, Why is it necessary and what purpose does it really serve to have a carcass as part of one's decor? To me it's so repulsive.
by HappyJeans on March 9th, 2007
I generally feel disgusted, but I also pity the person that feels they have to show how 'manly' they are by killing innocent creatures, and the fact that they think that was a good decorating choice.
by Anonymous on March 9th, 2007
I see an insecure man who has to prove he can kill an animal with a high powered weapon, and feels the need to remind himself and show others that by having the "trophies" on his wall.
I think it is also slightly barbaric.
by DownOnMyLuck on March 9th, 2007
I see pointlessness; that animal never hurt a soul and was killed for decoration. I feel saddened when I see such an "ornament".
by Anonymous on July 17th, 2007
I think Hunting is a more humane way of controlling the animal population and insuring that there is enough food for the rest of them to eat.
.
I had to take a Conservation class to get my Hunting License. This info may help you to see that not all hunters are redneck morons with guns. Sadly though, some are.
Here's the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrying_capacity
Having said all that, I would never hang a mount in my home. I think it's disrespectful to the animal.

I think...
Hunting must be their hobby. Nothing more, nothing less.

Good shot and poor taste and sick *****
by Smurphy on March 17th, 2007
Thouroughly disgusted. Although I've gotten used to it because my uncle hunts.
Funny story: I was sitting for my cousin and had fallen asleep on th couch while I waited for my aunt and uncle to come home. I woke up and nearly had a heart attack. Staring right at me was a huge deer. It took me a moment to realize it was dead.
by Anonymous on March 17th, 2007
Gross and unpleasant. They don't belong there. It also shows a man who thinks he's tough killing animals and hanging them on his wall as pride.
by Andy Is Wicked Married to Penal Colony on March 16th, 2007
That they clearly do not share my tastes in home decor.

hopefully these are old and have sentimental value...coz I don't want to think this guy has shotguns in the house....
by Ace of Hearts on March 16th, 2007
My first reaction would be to stand there stupidly, staring at the things and get slightly teary-eyed. I've got quite a soft-spot for animals. My first thought would then be, "... Okay, maybe the body is just sticking out on the otherside of the wall. Yeah, that's it. It's still alive, it's just... a little shy... and stiff..."

by Armed and Dangerous on July 19th, 2008
I think to myself what did he use to kill it.
by holeinthewoods on April 17th, 2008
I want to look at the quality of the mount and if it's good find out who did it.

I Dont Have A Problem With Them
by fresh on February 21st, 2008
What goes through my mind is i wish i could have hunted it down kill it in any sort of way gun,bow,knife,or trap then skinned or mount it then hang it up on the wall or make it into a coat,hat,rug,or any type of apparel. Plus i hate p.e.t.a tree hugging bastards i love to kill animals stupid things they have no compassity to think or anything so whats the big deal i wish i could trophy hunt them down the only animal that should not be hunted are humans and tigers all other animals should be hunted when they are big and strong enouph to fight and once its dead then make the dumb thing into a mount,trophy,or any type of apparel.
by KaToNaStIck on January 12th, 2008
I think "That's one HORNY animal!"
by santaclaus on December 9th, 2007
I think its cool because it's like a medal of honor and its the circle of life.
by riverrider on October 18th, 2007
Hmmm,It is not very hard to tell which side of the hunting controversy you people land on. I wonder if you realize how much those tacky hunters love the animals they hunt? Not to mention the amount of money they spend preserving habitat for animals. I suggest you do your research before you judge these heartless killers. With every animal mount you see on a wall is a story that goes along with it full of wonderfull memories. By they way, have you ever seen how wild animals die when there numbers aren't managed by hunting? I know this all falls on deaf ears, but just know that there are many respectable people that know the true benefits of hunting.
by LadyLuck on August 12th, 2007
I get nervous and leave. I think they like looking at dead animals and I don't.
by Bleu723 on May 5th, 2007
I always think.... Aw! How tragic.... Poor animal...
by nerd-bomber on May 5th, 2007
I usually just think of how the animal suffered and stuff like that. I feel sorry for them too. Yes, I was a vegetarian but then i couldn't be one anymore. I still don't hunt tho...*thinking about going back to my vegetarian days*
by sassafrass on April 19th, 2007
That they dont deserve to display it unless they went out and wrestled it down with their bare hands. Maybe a small pocket knife at most, but come on now - hiding in a tree and blasting something that doesnt even know youre there?... sounds quite ridiculous to me.
by MelindaWarren on April 13th, 2007
It works on a fireplace; just hanging on the wall is a little creepy.
Are you a better hunter on an empty stomach?
