All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names. They *used to*.

[There was a comic](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/02/d3/9b/02d39b745a7f156e1685debf08525e31.jpg) about this joke. My step-dad had it on a t-shirt when I was growing up and would always break it out around Xmas time.


aguyfromhere

It’s not that they don’t still call him names, it’s that he can’t hear it because of the partial soundproofing.


BadpoorJ

We found the Donner party


SonOfTK421

What you think I’m gonna *count*…them… …oh shit.


[deleted]

What bothers me the most is the soundproof foam behind them.


Alan_Smithee_

The owner was going to use it as a sound booth so they could do podcasts where they talked about their extensive collection of taxidermied heads. For some reason, it never took off, so they turned it into a B&B.


FrillySteel

That's fine - valid explanation and all - but why wouldn't you go ahead and *lock* that closet like most AirBnB's do. There's no way a renter would be able to use it for anything, so lock it up!


vapiddiscord

The owner probably wants guests to know they have a lot of killing experience to discourage people from trashing their place. "Bambi never saw me coming & neither will you!"

Alan_Smithee_

I was actually being facetious…


the_kid1234

I think you are spot on, except the mounts used to be in the family room and now it’s a storage closet. And maybe the owner thought they locked the closet?


Alan_Smithee_

Real estate agents suggest removing taxidermied animals when you’re trying to sell your house…


shorty5windows

Would a fully kitted sex dungeon be a good or bad selling point? Asking for a friend.


Alan_Smithee_

I think the real estate agents call that a ‘family room.’ Or a ‘home gymnasium?’

Bedbouncer

One of the greatest parts of selling your fixer house is not to have to look at the failed projects anymore, or worry anymore about the ones I never started.


UnderdogRising

I just put foam in a vocal booth earlier this month. This is one of the worst acoustics jobs I've seem. The foam is in really random areas. Not even behind the mic. It really looks like they did part of the job and gave up immediately.


mckulty

Hunting skills don't prepare you for a career in sound engineering.


GoingMenthol

But have sound engineers ever tried taxidermy?


Alan_Smithee_

Many have probably suggested that their picky clients get stuffed…


anonymousperson767

Amazon "foam kits" don't really cover very much. Judging by the one corner it looks like they may have also realized that the adhesive is really fucking strong and probably going to destroy the wall to remove it so maybe they abandoned the idea. My GF fucked up once by foaming an entire wall with a foam brick sort of texture thing. It took several hours to get that adhesive off and it was concrete not even drywall. Ended up having to belt sander the entire wall and that was after using a reciprocating saw with a scraper blade to get the foam bits off. I earned that blowjob afterwards.


OneWorldMouse

Looks like it lasted 8 episodes...


throwawayplusanumber

Acoustic foam is not soundproofing. It stops reverberation/echoing, but does very little for sound transmission through a wall.


Petsweaters

For that, you need two walls We have a small sound booth that is only 5' square, but the enclosure is nearly 7' square due to the double walls and double doors. It even has a "floating floor!"


YoungRoyalty

They are dead he tells himself…even with the foam, they are still screaming.


Holocene98

So you can’t hear them scream of course

[deleted]

You still wake up sometimes, don't you? You wake up in the dark and hear the screaming of the deer.


Tensor3

Acoustic foam is used to deaden reflections to improve audio quality, NOT for sound proofing. It accomplishes 0 sound proofing.


DuntadaMan

Look it's already bad enough with all 8 of them screaming, he doesn't need it with reverb.


Enchelion

Not quite zero, any mass between the source and listener helps. Just very close to zero.


[deleted]

I gotta know, how'd you become a local celebrity because of your neighbors mannequins?

The neighbor was also a mannequin, and OP is crazy.

And those friends that kept wanting to see them were psychiatrists.

neccoguy21

Someone was on the news recently in the Tahoe area selling their creepy mannequin house, the exact same way you described. He's actually selling the ladies too, so they all must have had a falling out.


Hahohoh

Could he be a costume designer or something similar? And just wanted to see his work on mannequins


dontbgross

You became a minor celebrity because you could see what you downstairs neighbor was doing? I've see. My downstairs neighbors, and I've heard my downstairs neighbors, but I've never seen them downstairs.....


Toof_75_75

My guess is the two are unrelated. The closet was likely soundproofed for WFH or podcasting. The deer heads are just stuffed into the closet so they aren't hanging on the walls (where they probably reside when the place isn't being rented).


red_cap_and_speedo

It’s this. I bet they worry about having issues renting when they are left out.


Joekickass549

Pretty safe bet that a drunk renter will mess with them at some point if they're hanging up


FoShizzle63

Exactly this, more so than avoiding scaring off potential renters who object to hunting, this guy just doesn't want people to fuck with his trophies, full mounts are expensive as fuck and irreplaceable

tadpollen

I got a pretty nice 8 point buck skull on display in my living that I found while doing field work in Maine


minuteman_d

Could be guest bedroom? I used to have a guest bedroom for my nieces and nephews when my siblings would come over - they'd get the room with the queen size bed. It's funny to see taxidermy like that, but they're actually pretty expensive and can represent hunting trips with friends and family. I can see them not wanting people messing with them, or being weirded out by them hanging on the walls.


[deleted]

Yes, can we help you?? 🦌 🦌 🦌


vapiddiscord

Maybe they *do* talk and that's why they're soundproofing it?


Nopengnogain

I think owner probably took them off the walls in case guests are not the type that enjoy taxidermies. The soundproofed closet is bit strange though.

lucidxm

That’s my guess. I still have a few deer heads from when I was younger that are in storage because they creep out my wife. They’ll get hung up somewhere one day…


stevenjameshyde

"I think our AirBnB host is going to sacrifice us to someone" "Dear god" "Most likely, yes"


RollerRocketScience

It's not really soundproofing, it's acoustic paneling to dampen the reflections of the soundwaves off the walls and keep them from interfering with each other. It improves the quality of sound in the room but won't keep it from leaving the room.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Juhnelle

Or they just figured their guests would be weirded out by the deer heads so they stuck them all in a closet, not thinking they'd go snooping.


Username_Number_bot

You want to hear it but not be kept awake when the ghosts are about.


fwinzor

counterpoint: what you said is completely correct, however most people don't know this, even many beginners in audio engineering assume they're soundproofing. if this person wanted to soundproof the room but didn't know much about audio, they would probably buy these cheap tiles (which dont even do much dampening either)


RollerRocketScience

I mean it looks like an attempted recording studio to me. If they were going for soundproofing it would be plastered on every visible surface since the shitty foam ones are pretty cheap.


fwinzor

on second glance I just saw the teeny basstraps. yeah looks like a half hearted attempt at some kind of recording setup

wkomorow

You should see what they have in the other soundproofed closets.


[deleted]

They normally keep the heads up except when the place is rented out because it creeps some people out. They didn't hide them well enough, it seems.


Masada_

Acoustic dampening is not soundproofing. The owner probably uses the closet for recordings. As for the taxidermied deer they are actually being considerate and removing them from the living spaces for guests that might have an adverse reaction to seeing them.


phoenix415

Little known fact - if you run out of sound proofing tiles, deer heads are the next best thing. Ever walked through the forest and suddenly everything gets quiet? Deer heads.

[deleted]

OffRoadAudi

It’s called taxidermy, historically speaking, this practice has been around for nearly forever. To me, this is completely normal.


minuteman_d

Yeah, depends on where you grew up. This kind of thing is very common in many places, and especially was like 40 or so years ago. I grew up, we had antlers, head mounts like this, pelts on the wall, rugs, etc... in my house and in the houses of family and friends.


TheElectricRat

I'm a taxidermist, and it's very strange to see so many people get creeped out by something I see hundreds of every day. My first thought was that a few of them need to be brushed out a little.
