Beautiful sculptures! Hunting can be a good thing, but when it's done with no thought other then for a trophy, it's disgusting. Every year we find dead deer, shot, and the hunter hasn't bothered to try to track it to finish it off. They die in great pain from their wounds. I suppose there is some good as the carcasses feed other critters, but it's such a waste. And how many times we have found dead bucks .. horns gone, carcass left behind to rot.
