Anybody else keep odd mementos / trophies?

I have been keeping the recovered bullets, i think now i will identify the casings as not all the bullets are recovered. Better record keeping i think.

Hunting clays count?

Hat I was wearing when I broke my first 25 this summer.

Also antler mount from 37 years earlier.
 
40 years ago, I started out keeping racks and skulls, but gave up on it after a few years, they all ended up in the garage attic. I have trophy racks and bear rugs displayed in various gun stores and lodges. I was never a picture taker back in the old days, now that I always have a phone in my pocket and work on a computer, pictures have become my preferred way to remember the scenery, game, friends and experience of the hunt... it is nice not having to blow the dust of an album.
 
I still have a set of deer antlers from a buck that ran into my Dads police car in about 1960 that he finished off with his service revolver. To much of a story behind it not to have it hanging in my gun room. My mementos vary from antlers, hides, pictures and some taxidermy birds. Never saved cartridge casings, always saved what I could and reloaded them.
