An interesting meeting with the animals

[DWalt]

Stuffed animals that is. Wife and I went to a community meeting this evening, held at a local auction house, which is a fairly large building. When we entered there were all of these stuffed animals inside. Full body mounts of a Grizzly bear, a Polar bear, an African lion, several Axis bucks, an American Bison, two bighorn sheep, a mountain goat, and the strangest item, a Rhino head. I suppose they are coming up for a future auction. I didn't ask anyone there about them, so that's all I know. Pretty bizarre. What I wondered was if there was even a market for such items. Personally I wouldn't accept them as gifts, and one would need a very large living room to display them. So would anyone here actually buy these? Maybe a natural history museum might be interested? I am sure someone spent a small fortune on getting them mounted. If anyone is interested, they are at Vogt's Auction House on Blanco Road near Loop 410 in San Antonio.

Sounds like common bar decorations on the head. Full body's outside of private shooters homes, I have only seen as representatives of School mascots.

Pictures not allowed??

I had no camera or smartphone with me.

I have seen some things like that in a house that I had to fix a computer in....
Not anything I would want.

It would require a big house what with having two huge bears, a lion, and a Buffalo. Let alone the smaller specimens.

Maybe Cabela's. The store in Fort Worth has a huge room full of stuff like that.
