succumbing to the deer head slash antlers craze

i've been wondering if and how i want to incorporate dead animals into our home decor. while i do live in texas, i am not a hunter and neither is nick so we'd have to buy any sort of antler or animal head. rather than go for the literal translation, i think i'm going with this sea grass bull head from ballard designs ($49 for small, $99 for large). cute, no?

ps. emilio, however, definitely is a hunter. he's vicious, especially when he's sleeping between our couch cushions. bad pic, i know. GOD i hate that couch...only a month til the new ones arrive.
