This is an Authentic "Wood" Deer Head!
It was discovered in Perry County, Indiana near the
Hoosier National Forest on December 31, 2004.
I guarantee this deer head has
not been
altered in any way other than by nature.
It does remind me of the story of St. Hubert
the patron saint of Hunters and Trappers.
As you may or may not know, Perry County, Indiana
is well
known for its many religious legends, forest and hunting.
From the Perry County Indiana Web Site
"Another unique feature of the church
is the statue of St. Hubert and the deer. According to legend, he was a hunter
and unbeliever. Once converted, he became an active missionary in the forest
area of the Ardennes; He became known as the patron saint of hunters and
trappers."
The Story Of St. Hubert
As a young man Hubert loved to hunt. On Good Friday while everyone else was in church, Hubert decided to hunt deer. In a clearing he saw a huge stag and as he prepared to shoot the deer turned. To Hubert's astonishment a crucifix shone brightly from between the deer's antlers. Then the deer spoke and said, "Hubert, unless you turn to the Lord, you shall fall in to Hell." Falling to his knees, He asked what he should do to be saved. "Find the Bishop Lambert of Maastricht, came the reply, "and he will tell you."
Just think of the stories you
can tell during next years
