I'd love to have seen that house, and the moose.

Have you ever heard of "The War of the Copper Kings?" Marcus Daly was a Montana figure who became very wealthy through dominating the copper mining industry.

He built a huge mansion near Hamilton, Montana, (which he designed with VERY wide streets back in the horse and buggy days), and the mansion exists to this day. You can tour it for a small fee.

One of the rooms is a big trophy room. You can see he had many mounted heads there by the faded outlines of the plaques on the walls. It's pretty spooky, actually.

They bring in money for the restoration by hosting Murder Mystery Dinners. I hope they don't paint over the outlines.
