This Midwestern Life




These deer belong to our friend Jay. He was kind enough to make his deer sit for a portrait. When I say "sit," I mean shoot them. Then consume their flesh, stuff them and then hang them on the wall.

Also, there is a mounted fish. Off camera there are bird feathers artfully jammed into a piece of wood. The bird might be a turkey or pheasant. On the mantel are animal skulls and antlers nestled lovingly against a photo of Jay and his girl, Emmy.

Jay uses antlers in all of his decorating. David and I prefer to use books. It's a matter of taste. Deer tastes pretty good. Books, however, taste pasty.
