Real or Stuffed ?

I have a cousin that I rarely see that is quite a hunter. About 10-15 years ago we visited his house. When I went through his front door...I was wondering if we had taken a wrong turn, and ended up in Cabelas or Bass Pro Shops. Made me wish I was a his tour guide.

I counted 54 stuffed things, including 42 birds. Of the mammals...they included everything from a fox to a mountain lion. Plus...he and his wife had just returned from Africa...and were waiting on 6 different kinds of antelope that were still being stuffed. Made me wish I was his taxidermist.

His birds were from everything from a quail to a big tom turkey. Every single bird was under glass. This real duck reminded me of how his mounts were presented. Pretty to have them mounted, but certainly not for everyone. Made me wish I was his furniture salesman.

I would like to go back and see what they did with the 6 antelope, and anything new that they might have. If they keep going...they are going to need a bigger house. Made me wish I was their real estate agent.
