A Member of the Welcoming committee when entering the cabin :))) see next two shots over for the others :)

Peter, I do not know the story on these mounted animals! I was a guest of some friends who invited us to accompany them to their niece and husbands,s mountain cabin... But do know that there are season's and places where hunters, with appropriate licenses , have a span of time that is permitted to hunt... Tho in the area where I live, we only have deer and wild turkey that have designated times that they can be hunted.... I DO NOT KNOW what the rule is in Highland North Carolina. AND these could have been hunted in other states, mounted and brought here.???? The United States does have rules, certain criteria, certain places etc for hunting. Peter. AND Peter, I nor my husband hunt, but my two sons do. along with hundreds in this area. But my sons do not hung BIG GAME, such as the lovely animals shown here.
If this photo angers you, I am deeply sorry. It was a lovely mountain home, and these were placed there by the owners. ? best wishes, Sarah

Hi Maurice.

beginning to think I should not have posted this shot of this lovely cabin. but won't delete. There are laws that protect hunters across the world. AND I do know there surely are those who hunt ILLEGALLY...... my youngest son is in law enforcement, with years of Department of Natural Resources, Law Enforcement Division, he would NEVER hunt illegally and would take those who DO HUNT illegally to a Jail cell !!!! thanks for your kind comment dear Steve.
Best wishes, have a great week. Sarah xx
