I don’t want to talk too much about the books I’m writing
here, for that I have my other blog ‘Herbert’s Place’, but a little bit of
advertising won’t hurt. I’ve had a new book released today by Melange Books,
LLC. Another book in my erotic science fiction series ‘The Xandra”. It is the
fifth book with the title ‘Escape from Paradise’.
So far I’ve written six books in that series. Book 6, Iceworld, will be
published in May. Right now I’m writing Book 7. No title yet. That won’t come
until I’m finished with it.
Anyone interested in reading more about it, please, visit my
blog ‘Herbert’s Place’ (click on 'New Releases) or my website ‘Herbert’s World’ to read an excerpt and
where to buy the book.
A few years ago, in the year 2004 to be exact, I shot a nice White Tail deer
buck, but unfortunately, I shattered the skull plate and I wasn’t able to mount
the antlers. We mount our antlers the European
Way which is different from the way they are
mounted here in North America.
Some people don’t want to see the white skull plate and
cover it with velvet. Personally, I don’t care for putting velvet on the skull
plate. It doesn’t look natural.
Those broken antlers lay in a box all these years. This
year, for my birthday, my kids bought me a mounting kit. It is made from
plastic and looks quite realistic. I finally mounted the antlers last week and
they look good. From far nobody will notice the difference. Finally, they have
a place on my wall with my other trophies. The picture below shows only four of
the mounts I have. It is the wall going down into our basement. My wife allowed
me to hang them there because I ran out of space and wall in my office.
The newly mounted antlers are on the top left. The ones
directly below them belonged to a nice buck I shot in 2005. I know some people
don’t like hunting and may think mounted antlers look disgusting, but that is
their prerogative, as mine is to go hunting and mounting the antlers of the bucks
I shoot. Besides, the meat also tastes great. I don’t have a full head-mount of
a deer, even though I wouldn’t mind having one, but my wife would find that
disturbing, and I respect her view and wish.
