Interesting article in the Billings Gazette: Jack Atcheson Jr. Article.

Good read. I found this quote “I'm 70 years old now, and I don't have any kids that want my stuffed heads like a lot of hunters find,” he said.

I wonder how many other hunters are discovering this ... their wife or children are stuck with a bunch of mounts that do not have the same "hunt down memory lane". Something to consider before you shell out that money for a mount.

Wondering myself about the fate of my 3 bull elk shoulder mounts and my 3 whitetail deer mounts. I turn 73 in July so I ponder their future. None of my kids are even remotely interested.

See if the local school outdoors teacher has any interest in them. I know that our high school teacher who teaches outdoors, wildlife, conservation management, etc is always after mounts for the kids to see and learn from.

New Orleans public schools would probably use them for target practice. I was thinking about the Cabela's? Maybe they would take them.
