Trophy Room Build after 45 years of hunting

This is going to be something really special! Congratulations
 
Gosh I hope not, that would ruin 42 years of party affiliation!

John Ed,

This is awesome! Well done! Your recent addition is larger than my primary residence! I need to look at your price list and see if there is a budget pack rat or snake hunt just to see the place! :)

I bet we can make something work!

Epic! Just Epic!!! So excited for you and to see it when it’s finished in all its glory! Just one question? Can I come over to see it in person when it’s finished?

Absolutely, I want to share it with as many folks as I can.
 
Update - I got back to the ranch yesterday and progress is steadily being made. The roofers have started installing the tile and the finish coat of stucco going on the walls.

The taxidermy team has made huge progress on the mountain. I had only visualized it in my mind before but I was amazed when I saw it in person. Still a long way to go, but we’re getting there.

That is really looking good. Gonna be a fantastic display when it's done. I have a somewhat small room for my trophies. Fast running out of room and I still want to hunt. Sooo I may be doing some in the future where I just bring pictures home. Have to see how it works out.
I'm really happy for you and what you're working on. Congrats

Thanks Bruce, I hope you've cleared out some space for a lifesize mount of that MONSTER Forest Sitatunga! It would be a shame to only display a photo of that grand old bull.
 
Love how it’s looking! I’ve always wondered if the mountain displays have a path that can be walked on for cleaning, maintenance or closer viewing?

If you look carefully in the corner against the wall, they build a series of steps to get up the mountain but they are well camouflaged. Also, the foam rock panels are very strong and will support a considerable amount of weight.

Just a shoulder mount. All that would fit. Still waiting for him to ship from the Congo.......

Very impressive and it is interesting to watch how the construction is progressing.
 
Looks great. The perspective is amazing in a photograph. Can't image how nice it looks in person.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.

Hi EGS

I read your thread with interest. Would you mind sending me that PDF? May I put it on my website?
