We're not the woodsy kind at our house. The boyfriend comes from Denmark, where there are very few hunters and gun control laws are very stringent. So, naturally, being a science and computer geek, he doesn't go in for the great outdoors, except our jet boat and watching cars on Top Gear. However, one of his colleagues travels all over the world to hunt. A couple months ago, he went up near the arctic circle on a polar bear hunt. (The locals say the bears aren't nearly as close to extinction as we're led to believe. I dunno.) Anyway, he's done very well with the company he owns on the side and the cattle he raises, some of which are used in the state rodeo, so he goes somewhere one or two times a year on these hunts. They added a wing on their house a couple years ago, which is basically a long 2-story hall, with an open apartment on the far end for entertaining or overnight guests. When we were there last, the walls were about 1/3 full, and he said that they only had half of his collection up, because the other half still hadn't made it into the country. He's got the head of a 3000 pound animal over here, an full stuffed mountain goat over in the corner, an antelope over there, and all these other various heads. It's AMAZING, but I think it'd be a little creepy to live there & walk around in there at night.
