If you have ever entered Mr. Hill’s room, you would be astounded by all the dead animals cluttering his walls. From the floor to the ceiling his, walls are covered will all different sorts of animals Mr. Hill has accumulated over the years.

Hung above the cabinets on the right side of his room is a snake, a monument from his college days.

“It’s a rattlesnake, and when I was in college I was hiking up in the woods in Umptanum. As I was walking along this trail, this snake was across the trail and some friends and I saw it and threw some rocks at it. I killed it then skinned it out, so that snakes like 25 years at this point,” Mr. Hill said.

Not all the animals hung on his walls are from him, “The Oryx is my brother in-laws, and he’s an army ranger. He was in Texas near New Mexico, and there’s a small heard of them that are imported from Africa. So they actually have a hunting season, and you have to get drawn for it. He put in for the drawing just because he was there, usually it takes years to be drawn but it was his first year and his name was pulled. He hunted for a week and he saw two but only got the one,” Hill said.

One piece Mr. Hill is the most proud of would be the week he went hunting with his dad.

“My dad and I were deer hunting; we had shot a deer and started to look for it. As we were tracking the blood, we stumbled upon another dead deer that was just a whole skeleton of stuff, which is where that skull came from,” Hill said.

You can never be bored rummaging through Hill’s room, in every nook and cranny you can find a different animal with a different memory attached to it; all you have to do is ask him.
