After the death of “Papa” Hemingway, then-budding journalist Hunter S. Thompson swiped a pair of elk antlers while visiting the author’s home in Idaho in 1964.

Now, Thompson’s widow has returned them.

Hunter S. Thompson’s widow returns antlers stolen from Hemingway’s home

Of course, when visiting Hem’s house in Key West (they have brochures available in like 30~ languages except for English) I found this was perhaps the most memorable souvenir out there, but hey, everyone has their own thing:

“Why don’t you try shooting something besides bird shot, you Asshole!”, says Hunter S. Thompson using an Artillery Luger while having a shootout with his neighbor.

Don’t try this at home, kids.

Oh yeah, and Happy April 15th!

Excuse me, is that a Colt SP-1 on your shoulder?

HST on his Woody Creek ranch in California with a 1976 Penton GS6 125 motocross bike and an old school Colt SP-1 (AR-15) from the same era.

All three are classic, if somewhat renowned for being cranky, and I don’t believe any of the three are California legal at this time.
