hood ornament
when I was kid the meat went in the box and the Moose head went on the hood. Back in the early 70s we were skunked coming back from a Moose hunt . My dads friend killed a mouse in camp and strapped it to the hood with fishing line. We stopped at a bar on the way home and the proprietor asked my old man if we had a successful hunt and he said it's strapped to the hood. The whole bar came out to see and my dads friend says to them " on that hood over there, we are mouse hunters not moose hunters" we are tagged out and going home. Still makes me smile
