I tried to run over pheasants quite a few times, but they were too quick.

I had a pig on my kitchen table. She didn't like me calling her that though...........particularly during the sex.

Stuffing peasants in the house is fine, but they generally don't like to be called that ...

We used to have a stuffed phesant and a stuffed fox at home... They're stowed away in the attic now, haven't seen them the last few times I was home.

They were very funny when we had friends staying over, just put the stuffed fox standing on the end of their bed before they wake up and then wait for the scream

it would have been funnier if you'd sourced a feral fox for the task

Some kid I used pal about with back in the annals of time, his dad was mad into fishing, had this sort of games room and on one wall was a glass case with the biggest pike I'd ever seen; you know how things are bigger when you're a kid, but this was still big. Was always fascinated by how they managed to preserve the scales and the fins and all.

Another one I remember was this pub down the street, also when I was young, had a barn owl in a case behind the counter...always made me feel sad for some reason, like it was frozen in time or something.
**** you OP, now I'm depressed...maybe stuffing yore ma will cheer me up...

I wanted to stuff our dog when he died in his 'chasing car' position, but Ma was having none of it.

I managed to get a hold of Johnny Cash's corpse when he died, and with a bit of help from an online tutorial, he's now standing proudly in my dining room. His eyes follow you around the room though, which is a bit creepy.
