There was probably some monsters killed in the nf by some old mans that has lived up there all his life and he didn't tell nobody.
I would say that you are very correct, sir!
I know that is the case in my area, as well. I have seen racks that were unbelievable taken from here near my house that were hanging in barns or nailed to a plaque and hanging in old houses.
As a boy, we had cows in Wilcox County from near Peachtree to Pine Hill. We used to dog-drive with a group of black guys that were some really good folks. I have seen them kill some GIANTS and chop the horns off with a hatchet and throw them on old pump houses or hang them in the rafters of a shed. They simply were not treasured or coveted like they are today.
