At my uncle/godfather's house in Austria:
He's a big-time hunter, obviously. There must be over 150 goat and deer heads throughout the house, as well as some bigger game. 60+ fox pelts, 20+ badger pelts, quite a few stuffed foxes and martens, a couple sweet looking birds (I'm sorry Stu! He's loves 'em as much as you do, though) and even some crazy shit he hunted in Africa, like the tusks of a wild boar!
As much as he enjoys hunting, it's a sustenance thing as well - he used to operate a restaurant, so he eats what he kills (well, the deer at least). Last night he cooked us some schnitzel from pork (which is typical for this region I think, whereas wiener schnitzel is veal) and from deer as well. The deer schnitzel was a bit gamier, but so delicious. He made some incredibly good potato salad and a soup that I can't recall the name of (it had sliced up pancakes in it) as well. In Vienna I'll be at some really well known/famous/historic restaurants but I can't imagine that I'll have a meal half as good as that one was.
I'll probably upload a couple more pics from the trip when I'm back home in 10 days or so.
