Fun attic finds #2

Okay, so, Dad was a hunter, that we know. We also know he once shot a Dall sheep -- a taxidermied head ("shoulder mount"?) used to hang in our living room. But...is this all that's left?

Years of hangin' out had reportedly taken its toll on the trophy, but would Dad have gone to the effort of getting rid of all but the horns? And then put it in a beat-up box that was once sent via airline (Alaska Airlines IIRC) by an unnamed person in Wrangell to a Jack Campbell in "Fairbank" (sic)? And then tossed it back in the attic?

Seems unlikely.

Which means...there's probably another set of these, plus dolled-up headparts, waiting in the attic for us!

Now, what Dad thought he needed a (second?) set of horns for is anyone's guess. Was he planning on making a Tim costume? Doubtful.
