I wonder who puts that in their house and thinks "Now, that looks good!"
We have one in our junk room that DH got when he was a kid. We compromised, I told him the only way I would let him hang it up is if I could put a beanie on it. Surprisingly, he agreed

Meh. Not a fan. My in-laws have a huge trophy room devoted to all manner of stuffed heads, animals, rugs, fish, and memorabilia of his hunts and those of my h and our nephews. It's actually quite well done, which is hard to say about anything that involves a hyena trying to take a dead something from a... leopard, I think? Some kind of African cat. So I can't get worked up over a few deer heads.
I have a coworker who had 5 in his office. He's moving offices and gave one to my coworker, who now has "Rudy" sporting a few Valentine's Day decorations. Poor thing is going to get decorated for every holiday... I find it funny, the original coworker does not.
We looked at one house that wasn't bad, except for the dead animals EVERYWHERE. Birds mounted on the wall in the living room, small mammals in the the den, deer heads in hallways. I almost couldn't go into the basement I was so freaked out by the MOOSE head hanging over the stairs. When we got to the basement, there was a beaver in a cedar closet that nearly gave me a heart attack, and a small storage area of hunting gear with a large gun safe.
It was one of those houses that had lots of built in storage- pull out sections under stairs, cabinets recessed into walls, just lots of fun cubbies, but we just could not get over the dead animals in there.

The junk room is a good place for it! That's where we put our 20X24 cross stitch of a samurai FIL gave us. Compromise!
My husband has lots of antler hunting trophies and I told him there is no way on earth that they are ever allowed inside the house. If he wants to look at Bambi's severed antlers, he can do it out in the garage.
UGH! I hate that. Hate, hate. My FIL has one hanging above his beloved recliner in their house and it is so creepy. When H and I were building our house, I was very clear that no room in my house would ever have dead animals hanging on the wall. Their eyes follow you!

We need to do a post sometime of our innappropriate home decor that realtors would veto. Plus I really need to see a cross stitched samurai
Ugh, we have one in our living room. It was H's 'first deer', and I loathe it. I had to hipster the shit out of the rest of my wall decorations just to kill the Bass Pro Shop vibe.
What do you guys think of these ceramic deer heads that seem to be all the craze on home decorating sites like Younghouselove.com?
I'm kind of used to real deer heads, since I live in a rural area and I've grown up seeing them on people's walls. I'd never in a hundred years want one in my house and I don't hunt deer. But if you don't like the dead animal on a wall thing, is the ceramic one that much better?
lol.. my friend's house is like this, and there are a lot more than 3 deer heads. They have all kinds of animals on their walls. (((barf)))
Her boyfriend is a hunter and she is an animal lover. She moved in and he would not budge. I would never agree to move in and live surrounded by dead animals.. no way, no how.
