There's an Elk in my Bed!

The husband went on a Colorado hunting trip the Thanksgiving before last. He shot a huge elk and had it mounted. Well, he just got it back and let me tell ya, our house was not built for an elk mount (fyi, our house is only about 1000 sq ft.). He had wanted to put it in the living room. We tried several different spots but our ceiling is too low or the elk's antlers are too wide, or the possibility that I will poke my eye out is too great!

The husband finally decided to put it in the spare bedroom. So he and the father-in-law attempted to take it down our small hallway. Well, the husband tried on his own at first as me and the FIL watched. After giggling at him, the FIL decided he should step in and help. I on the otherhand thought getting the camera would be more appropriate. It took the both of 'em and several minutes to get the thing manuevered thru the hallway door and down the 3 ft. hall.

They saw me taking pictures, so they thought they would add a festive touch to the poor thing.

They finally got it in the room and the husband decided it would work on the wall. But, as you can see, it is only a few feet off the floor cause the antlers hit the ceiling. Not the best placement.

So he was placed on the bed for further consideration.

I think the elk's expression says it all during this quandry.....

Do ya think he's laughin' his butt off about the situation? Well, figurative butt that is!
