Our New Home Decor

In about a year from now, we'll be adding a pretty expensive piece of home decor to our basement.  It's definitely NOT something I would ever choose to spend money on, but I'm married to a hunter who just finished his first big archery elk hunt.  The mount is kind of a big deal to the man, so I guess I'd better become real good friends with the thing if it's going to live in my basement (the elk, not the husband. . . .although sometimes that's very tempting too ;) )

So here's the story. . . . . You could say it's kind of a Brokeback Mountain Story:

After 6 months of prep, 2 months of scouting, and 17 days of hunting that looked something like this. . . . .

Travis got the end result he wanted.. . . The elk, not the boyfriend.  However, Clayton and Travis spent so much time together for those couple of months I can't help but make fun of their little bromance.  We call him Osama because he died on 9/11.

For those of you who are horny for hunting (Trav's words, not mine), here's the video:
