Deer #1 of the 2006 season returns...

I picked up my early bow kill from last season a few days ago. The taxidermy was done by Thad Cummins at Cummins Taxidermy in Brocton, Illinois. Thad did a great job, which is good, because he has another beast of mine that I shot later in the season that is scheduled to be done in the next couple of months.

Needless to say, Sarah and I have differing opinions in regard to where the deer should be displayed. I feel that it should be displayed in the living room (until I get to build my dedicated game room....aka "The Man Room"). Sarah feels that the work of art should be kept in the dark in one of our spare bedrooms.

A compromise hasn't been reached yet, which means we'll settle it the old fashioned way.....she complains until I can no longer hold out and have to give in; then I complain until she wishes we never would have met. In the end, we'll both lose, but the deer will be the one who truly suffers from it all.
