    I think they would look much better on the LIVE body of the animal.

    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?

    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!"

    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

    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).

    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."

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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..."

    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.

    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.

    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.
