i don't, mine are hanging on the wall of a deer camp trailer in Walker County.
A few years ago, I got ride of 90% of my antler sets, all I have now are the mounts in my house.
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Not me, didnot have them a week. The door to the shop where they were at got left open and they walked out. probally my dog planted them somewhere.
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true
Mainstream news might be fun to watch

I do not have the first one since it was a spike taken when dinosaurs still roamed this area  but willing to bet I have a lot of the rest of them that I killed on my own lease or to mount. Lot of the culls I killed got donated with the meat.

Still have mine. Anderson County Texas 1997. I had always hunted small game but never got intrested in bigger game untill I got older. Its a old picture and after I took the pic I realized he needed to be dusted. Its the only pic I have on the computer though so deal with it.

Yep, little 6 point from the 1970's. My middle son wanted some "hunting" decor for his apartment in college, so I made a barnwood backdrop, put some deer hide on it, put an old Willie Nelson concert poster on it, and added some barbed wire and the bullet casing. Then mounted the antlers on top of it all. He really appreciated getting the old mans first buck as his own "wall decor".
