Excellent!
I have one just about like the first one hanging on my wall.
Always brings back lots of memories when I look at my mounts.
I recall where I was, what the weather was like, what gun I had, etc. Too bad so many don't get why we hunt, or why we have them mounted......
Many years ago I read an article by Bob Hagel. In it, he mentioned thathe always kept the shell casing from any load that he took an animal with, and if he recovered the bullet, he kept it with the case. Just for the memories.
Ever since then, I have been doing the same thing. I have a drawer full of zip-loc bags that have empty casings (and sometimes a bullet or two) along with a note that tells all the details of the shot. Range, weather, angle, distance, etc., and the gun and caliber used, along with the load/s used and the impact and exit points, the way the bullet behaved, how it expanded and penetrated, etc.
They are just as much a trophy to me as the animals they have taken for me.
