Bow hunting is much more comfortable, weather wise, anyways.
Too bad about the moose permit. Do you have a huge mounted moose head somewhere in your house?
No, I don't take trophies. I give that stuff away. Some of it goes to the people who process the deer (they can sell heads easily) and some of the other stuff goes to a dude that does bone carving. The hide goes to someone that processes it and makes stuff like clothing.
I'm not into trophies. I hunt to eat what I hunted. I don't care if others use my stuff as trophies/trinkets to sell to tourists. I just don't care for them.
I do have a bearskin blanket and I have quite a few things made from the dude that processes the skins. I don't consider those trophies, those are actual useful things.
Thats cool. I was thinking maybe you'd be like an uncle I have who is a bug game hunter and he has a big moose head in a bar he has at his house. Along with deer and fish and other mounted animals. He likes the trophies. I don't have anything like that myself.
I do have some fish that look like they're taxidermy fish. They're fish that I caught, but they're just handmade carvings made from photographs I took of the fish.
I otherwise ate the fish, or returned it to the water. Usually they went into my belly.
