I’m not sure we this is the trophy of shame. When I lived in New Mexico big horn sheep skulls could be found on the high desert floor. And, in the forests.
I do realise that it may be the case, Ray. However, I still find the glorification of dead animals on walls rather dubious. (And this was taken in Australia, not in the US.)
However, hanging something like that ram horn may be more spiritual than we know to original people. They may be honoring the animal and asking for protection or something else…
Then, you are making too much of it. Go into any bar in our western states and you’ll antlers every where. I think that as long as the meat was eaten displaying the trophy is fine.

In another context perhaps, but in bar above the counter? Not sure… 😀

Yes it is Karine. Killed and the that final loss of dignity being hung on a wall
