Also, Elisabrat, my dh sounds like he would fit right in with some of the "critter stuff" you speak of...I actually call him Jed Clampett...We have been married almost 30 years..so it is said with love...mainly..
He has his Critterville room, and residing in there are several rattlesnake skins he tanned from ones he has killed, a wild boar skull that he did a "European Mount" on, whatever that means...he and our son shot it in Dec 2011, and yes, it was processed and they love the meat! I admit I have tried the pork chops, and they are good...but the sausage, pulled pork, etc...no thanks! He also has a tarantula that is encased in plexiglass...and this past summer he came in and had a horned toad skeleton...he found it on our acreage, weird deal, as it looks like it was just standing and died, every bone intact...dh said he had never seen anything like it, and of course it is now sitting on a shelf in there, too..I have some pics of his stuff, but I don't know if it would be ok to share them here...quilting to critters...hmm...probably not.
Whats really funny is when we moved out to the country, and had our 1st big storm and lost electricity (our house is all electric, so when it goes there is no heat or a/c, no water (well pump is electric), etc). Tho I don't hunt or "rough it" well, I always considered myself more like Laura Ingalls...after our 1st storm experience I told dh I was more like Nellie Olsen...we both laughed thinking of Nellie with Jed...
