Went deer hunting down by Natural Bridge State Park. Wanted a
trophy to mount in the RV. Found this
young buck in the park. It's now mounted in the rig. Looks
good, eh?

Yes have a google acct and it didn’t come through for me
either...Â*Â*Â*Â* but I saw it immediately after he had it mounted...

Maybe Greg will post it.

I couldn't see it either. (no google)


Check your email ...


This one was pretty cool too and we have not been able to duplicate
it. We found it in a house we rented in Michigan

Here's the "two pointer" we had hanging in the pool cabana:

Oh no! Someone bagged a steer! Harry will be calling all kinds of names.



Ha.Â* Don't know if still true but at one time there were more cattle
being raised in Florida than in Texas.




The horns we had hanging in the cabana were not something we sought for
a decoration or even wanted. They were given to us as a gift. My
mother had a younger sister in Florida who, with her husband, owned
and ran a cattle ranch. One year my mother ... who had MS .. decided
to visit with her sister for a couple of months. We had purchased a
golf cart that gave my mother a degree of mobility to ride around in
the backyard or up the driveway to visit us when she lived in the old
farmhouse at the end of our driveway. We decided that the golf cart
would be useful during her visit to Florida, so I loaded it in the bed
of my truck and delivered it on one of my many trips to Florida.

After her visit it became obvious to everyone, including my mother, that
her physical condition had deteriorated to the point where she needed
to move into an assisted living facility (actually a nursing home, but
they called it "assisted living" to avoid the "nursing home" stigma.)

I told her sister that if they wanted it, they could keep the golf cart
which they appreciated as it would be put to good use on the ranch.
On a subsequent visit up north, shortly before my mother passed away,
they arrived at our house with the steer horns, I guess as a reciprocal
gift for the golf cart. Couldn't really refuse them, so that's how they
ended up hanging in the cabana.

They thought they would look nice hanging over our fireplace in the main
living room of the house. My wife put the kibosh on that idea. :-)
