Buckhorn Saloon

 The day we visited the Alamo, we also went to the Buckhorn Saloon. It's a very popular tourist attraction. It has hundreds of mounted animals and a lot of them were "freaks" of nature.

They have a 78 point buck. I didn't even know that could exist. The original owner of the saloon paid $100 for this buck back in the 1800's.

 They also had a Texas Ranger museum in the Buckhorn Saloon. The kids were pretty concerned when they saw me in jail. :)

 This River Raptor was shown in circuses and people actually believed it was real. It was a monkey body and someone added a tail.

 The Figi Mermaid was also a made-up creature.

 I thought these were kind of neat but kind of disturbing at the same time. These are real shrunken heads. They had an exhibit on how the tribesmen shrunk the heads.

Poor cow. Its horns were growing into its eyes.

 This deer had a bunch of barbed wire stuck in its horns.

 This deer had a huge growth on the side of its antler.

 This is a barnacle buck. Its horns were very strange.

 Poor dear. He just looks goofy.

 Of course, they had to have some two-headed calves.

It was an entertaining museum and well worth the money. You could bring beer with you as you toured it so it was a good time!
