Dead animal heads on your wall is stupid and weird.

[Kenny Satch]

If you killed it in a fair fight with with no guns and your bare hands and maybe an axe then you have the right. Otherwise you have a small Oscar Meyer and you're 1st clas Weiner.

Why is everyone so obsessed with dead hookers??? Ive never had either kind, but a live hooker certainly sounds like a lot more fun.

I think its just the epitome of a night gone sideways or really sideways

I would pass on either

I’ve been following this for a while:
Bad Taxidermy

There are a bunch of different versions of this idea. They’re all pretty funny. Here’s an example:

I think it’s funniest when they think they’re doing a good job and it just looks like crap:

Some of those a absolutely hysterical my god

When my grandma died the ongoing joke was that nobody wanted her stuffed, dead, pet cat that was named Socks. I think it wound up in a thrift store in Blaine, MN.

Re: dead hookers, has no one here seen Very Bad Things?

[goldenboy]

There was a house for sale in Gunnison a few years ago that had about 50- birds, deer, elk, you name it. I told the listing agent it might be a turnoff for some buyers and she might want to get her seller to remove them and she said she had already been able to get rid of half of them. So there were 100+ before that...

Guy here has probably $1,000,000 in taxidermy mounts from all over the world. Many are world records. Several of his mounts are full scenes, with multiple animals, animated, motion activated, and with light and sound.

Don't understand the thrill. Riding around in the back of a truck in Africa on an animal farm. Look Mr. Bill, there is a world record springbok. Would you like to shoot it? How much? For you Mr. Bill, only $15,000. Swipes credit card on a satellite phone. Bang. Very nice Mr. Bill. Would you like for us to arrange to ship it to your taxidermist? Sure. How much? For you Mr. Bill, only $7,000. May I have your credit card please? Swipe. Oh look Mr. Bill, there is a world record kudu! Would you like to.........

Just like the Trump boys.. Avid killers of African animals.

[TNKen]

Yep, but like many managed herds here in the US, they are selectively bred, fed a special diet, then turned out for "harvest."

I think taxidermy is cool. Its like a museum to look at wild animals up close the way you only can when they are stuffed and mounted.

i have a 8pt buck (4 on each side, is that how you count it?) mounted in our home office. An old coworker was moving and was planning to throw it out, so i jumped on that have had it on my wall since. I think its really cool looking. Growing up a buddy's dad was into the whole african safari hunting thing and had the big 5 trophies up on the wall. I spent a lot of time high AF staring into the eyes of those animals, and petting their heads.

Or, your wife just turns it into a Christmas decoration:

If you ever find yourself driving through Nebraska on Rt 80, stop to eat at Ole's in Paxton NE. Open the door and you are looking at a standing polar bear. There's an F'n giraffe in there for gods sake; every type of fauna you can think of including fish and fowl.

Skip the steak and go for the burgers, been there twice.

Kinda proves the stupid and weird part.

I can get you a toe.

Camel toe? I'd be down with stuffing a camel toe.

Next time you’re in Tokyo, hit up the Natural Museum in Ueno. Mind blowing. Every critter under the sun mounted up in that place.

Next door is the science and technology museum. Also mind blowing.

That entire museum complex in Tokyo is awesome - cool how there are a few massive ones right next to each other.

Saw this in Tignes. " The afternoon had become quite foggy, and our quarry had moved up into the high pasture. Had it not been for the clanging of her bell and well, of course, the fence, we might never have prevailed."

[jummo]

Sometimes they are cool. Especially if two animals must die to make one.

[Djongo Unchained]

There is a whole lotta Mojo going on here. I dig it...

[Core Shot]

I had an employee that did taxidermy
Years ago he stuffed a squirrel gnawing on a bloody human figure
I commissioned it for an old ski buddy.
Creepy AF but funny at the same time.

If you've got the dollars and the square footage, I can see the whole scene idea being kinda cool. And, while it's not my thing, I get the occasional trophy buck mount or such when it matches the theme of the house.

I don't get the huge numbers of mounts that effectively overrun some of the examples mentioned here; that's just a lot of money into something that doesn't seem like it could possibly bring that much more enjoyment than framed photos of the same animals.

Also, Foster and Logan's in Red Lodge, Montana has a bison mounted above the bar staring down at you. I tried to avoid the seats that looked like he was after you, particularly when enjoying a bison burger.

a bloody human figure

One of your dead hookers ?

Yes, it is pretty amazing. The guy seems to have killed one of everything. Kind of like Noah's Ark but different. At first it seems cool but by the end of the meal it felt a little morbid.
Still worthy of a stop, there's not much out there.
