“...Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.”
- Stephen King


Yes, I collect furs, taxidermy mounts, and other misc. things like antlers, feathers, eggs, etc., as well as do some taxidermy work myself. I am a beginner, and I am nowhere near perfect, but I hope to get better and better with each animal that I mount.

Before you start flaming or insulting me because I "murder bootiful animalz", get to know me first. I do not kill ANY of the animals I own. Not one, but I do accept hunting as part of life here on Earth, and who knows, maybe in the future I will hunt, but I'd use everything. Meat, if I don't eat it, I'd give it back to the soil for the plants, or leave it out for some wild animal. Fur, I'd use for taxidermy or leave as a pelt. Bones, I'd either clean and keep for myself, or do some kind of craft with them. Besides, hunting isn't a bad thing. Sometimes it's needed for things such as population control. Overpopulation is a real big issue, especially with species like coyotes, and culling them does more good than harm. It reduces fights over resources with other animals and disputes between people because of them wandering into residential areas. And yes, even wolves are becoming overpopulated. Despite popular belief, they are indeed no longer endangered. They haven’t been for years, and they were recently taken completely off the Endangered Species list. April, 2011 if I remember correctly. Even when they were on the list though, they were in the section that contained animals of least concern, which included foxes.

...Anyways, as I said before, I haven't hunted at all. Biggest thing I've killed was probably a moth or other type of insect. All of my pelts and other possessions have been bought, except for the few items that I have found myself around my property, like my rat or bird skull.

Besides, some of my animals weren't even hunted or trapped. My black coyote had to be put down due to a foot disease. Some of my animals like Scooter were road kill; not everything hit by a car becomes road pizza. Yes, the majority of my animals were hunted or trapped, but a lot were hunted for population control, and even though all of my ranched foxes are from fur farms, I make sure the fur farm is US or Canadian based and is HUMANE. None of my foxes were skinned alive or beaten to death, or any other ridiculous way that PETA has claimed. Stuff like that only happens in China and other Asian countries… I assure you every animal I own lived a good life before being humanely killed.

And I promise you, I hold utmost respect for all of my animals, whether you believe that or not. Even if they no longer are living and breathing, they are still animals and should be treated as such, not like some toy or piece of dirt. Every single animal that I own is displayed nicely. Not thrown around on my floor, stuffed in boxes, or hidden in a closet. Every single animal is either comfortably resting on my bed, chair, or desk or displayed nicely on my wall so that it doesn't get dirty or ruined.

Just please remain calm and polite when asking me questions, or voicing your opinion. Everyone is entitled to their opinion yes, I know and respect that, but please, respect my way of life and my opinion as well. As the saying goes, “treat others the way you want to be treated”. I’ll show you the same respect you show me, and things will go over much better if we both act more mature and older than a five year old. I figured out years ago that flame wars just end in two people mad at each other.
