The Antique Warehouse, all 12,000 square feet of it, had more stuffed animals than I have ever seen collected into one space. 99% of it was White Tail Deer. Some of it I found disturbing, because an animal lost its life for some untrained amateur to reduce its likeness to an abomination. Others were just a bad idea (a bob cat rug with head attached), and an enormous African Eland bust (well over 6 feet tall) whose head was into the rafters with the wings of a 10 foot radio control plane. I managed to embarrass my youngest son telling him that what he thought was a large Northern Pike wasn't even a keeper on Isle Royal. I told him about a six foot one a guy got in Chicken Bone lake on the island - and he hushed me saying "you sound like a crazy old man". Of course, I must have said it 2 or 3 more times for effect, and I could see my next oldest son (who always got my humor) was laughing a few feet away. What fun! I didn't take pictures of most of the animals.
Just something about the bobcat and book positioning didn't feel right
The largest Antelope in the world is slightly heavier than the taller North American Moose
