I've got one more exotic mount coming and it's my gold medal TX dall.
That's priceless.
Opie,
Great collection of exotics. That's Awesome.
Redneck Bowhunter I know that smile my girls had it when they got their sheep. It's great!!
You could say my garage looks like a hunting lodge, a museum, or even a junkyard depending on one's point of view. Sure, I have a few taxidermy heads, a couple pig jaws, some axis deer antlers, and a bunch of Spanish goat racks. There are several full-curl skeleton ram horns that I've picked up while hunting over the years. Varnished and mounted high on wooden blocks, together they look like the mother lode of Mouflon; regal kings whose stories will go untold by the sorry hunters who lost such beautiful animals.
Rusted metal objects are treasures to me. Old ranch ironworks, tools, horseshoes, stirrups, bridles, and spurs stand in stark contrast to the white drywall. Railroad spikes, cowbells, and bale claws run the gamut from my forages afield.
My pride and joy are two small cluster bombs I found while sheep hunting on the island of Lanai. A red dirt strip of land that warplanes used to strafe for target practice during WWII is littered with steel shrapnel remnants. I discovered the first unbroken relic as I was sneeking up a silt ditch, and ten years later I saw the intact tail fins jutting out from the clay earth. Evidently neither bomb detonated upon ground impact, and years of rain water has washed away the explosive material from their center cores. Regardless, I wouldn't want to be in my shoes the next time I find one and try to explain that to TSA airport security!
