New Trophy Room

[Red Leg]

Again, this is all personal preference. But were it me, I would have the top of the rhino 1/4 - 1/3 down from the top and the base of the larger buffalo mount 1/4 - 1/3 up from the bottom of that space. I think that would look proportionally correct. (Though, I would have to see it ) Because the buffalo are different sizes, I would try the one on the left aligned bottom with its mate. It might, however do better aligned center to center. Just have to try it. And trust your bride. It is going to be a great place.

And I am bitterly jealous about all that tall wall space.

Spectacular room! I like the rhino and the buffs.

Just keep in mind you will add more and more mounts over the years so keep that in mind on spacing.

New house and trophy room for Chrismas. Just starting to hang some heads. Any recommendations will be appreciated.View attachment 443574View attachment 443575View attachment 443576

Very nice now fill it

I would spread the mounts out in the room and stagger them .

I have mine grouped by north america, New Zealand and Africa . Just make sure you can add to each group. With your very nice room you have the space

Small sized mounts look better down low on the wall. I like to mix them in with bigger stuff .

It looks great! Lots of room to let your imagination run wild. A trophy room should always be what is most appealing to the hunter! One suggestion, buy or rent wheeled scaffolding. It makes it so much easier and safer to hang than using a ladder.

Koodoo62, I'm wondering if you can take photos of each animal and them somehow move them digitally to see what arrangement you like best. But no matter what you and your wife decide to do I'd like to see the final results!! You most certainly have a lot of options. Did you put plywood under the drywall so you can mount your animals anywhere and not be worried about stud location?

3/4 inch plywood under all the drywall. 2x8 framing. I will send photos after we hang more heads. Thanks for the advice!

I bought a section of Metaltech rolling scaffolding at Home Depot. It was cheaper than renting for several days. Comes apart and stores flat.

I suggest grouping the animals into categories such as spirals in one group and ring horned in another group. Then within each group put the species together such as bushbucks species clustered together that way you can admire the particular differences that make the subspecies unique. Thats how I will do mine when the day comes.
