So You Like Antlers?



How about having a mounted Longhorn on your wall?


Joe and I chased this truck on Sunday last, in our Mini Coop, and I snapped this image while we were both moving.

Craziness.

Needless to say the mounted Longhorn is wider than our Mini should it have been purchased by us. Heavens, it is wider than our stone fireplace.


We have some small deer antlers. Do you like antlers of any kind?


may joy and peace surround you

  2. Well, I have the big old deer head in my living room (not by my choice) and I have a few sets of faux antlers. Those ones were HUGE though! Looks like they would be dangerous if the guy got in a car accident. Poke right through your windshield.

  4. Not a big fan of antlers. Deer shed their antlers, so it I just happened on some in the woods, that would be one thing. If the antlers were available because an animal had been killed or slaughtered....NO. What can I say? I'm a vegetarian!

  5. Olive,
    Those are humungous, and a little scary! I may be the odd man(or woman) out here, but I do like antlers. My daughter's boyfriend brought me some that he found in the woods. They are on my coffee table in a large bowl with pinecones during the winter, I love the way they look, the color and the curves, very rustic.

  7. I like that scene in the film where Dudley Moore looks at a trophy and asks where the arse-end is!

  8. They are not exactly my cup of tea. but I've seen the smaller ones used in decor and it looks alright, just nothing I'd ever aspire to.

  10. I love antlers...as long as they are shed...although having said that I wonder why since I having nothing against hunting for food.

    I passed up a nice set a few months ago at a flea market....wish I had picked them up.

  11. The only antlers I like are those growing out of the head of a live animal. I think it's terrible for anyone to display them as if it's some badge of honor that they killed an animal.

  12. Funny story, but not seeing the appeal in having them hanging in my family room!

  14. Well, thank heavens you didn't catch up with those! I just don't get the interest in deer antlers for decor - at all.

  15. No I don't get the antler attraction...but hey I live in IL, in Texas I might feel different?

  18. Down here in Texas, those size antlers come standard as hood ornaments...lol!
    Excuse me, but is the face still attached? No thank you!
    I'll use the little ones for props, but that's about it.
