Under Construction Trophy Room

[Justbryan]

I am getting closer to getting my bunk room at Lake Fork, Texas completed. I have another room that is exactly this size through the side door that is only framed out. There is a lot of wiring left to complete plus shower and kitchen, but I am getting there. The two rooms are only 625 sq. ft. so I have limited space, but you can pack in a lot of animals if your ceilings are tall enough.

I will have a pool table/recreation room in the adjoining this trophy room. People always ask where I keep the big bass from Lake Fork. I will need to catch them first.

I still have a full body Tahr, Full Body Chamois, and shoulder mount on Rusa from New Zealand so getting the recreation room completed is a top priority. I have a 3rd trip to Africa coming up in August. I need to slow down!

I will post some pictures when I get the room completed. I will have a professional photographer to shoot the bunk house like I did for my main house. The photographer did a very neat walk-through interactive video of my lake house a few weeks ago. The walk through makes a great reference for insurance.

Looking good. Any favorite hunts among those in the photos? Love the red stag. I'm chasing them in Argentina this spring. Did you post a topic about your main house also?

No post on my main house. All the trophies are in the mancave/bunk house.

My favorite hunt is a tie between New Zealand Tahr and South Africa Limpopo Bushbuck. Only disappointment was the Bushbuck cape arrived at taxidermy in bad shape. Still may be my favorite hunt story.

I was hunting bushbuck in Limpopo when we spotted a bushbuck hiding in a bush, go figure. I took a shoot with my 300 WSM but hit a limb or maybe I missed. The next day we search for another bushbuck and finally we came across another bushbuck hidden behind a bush again but this time I waited for a clean shot. He stepped out of the cover and I made a good shot. As we approached the bushbuck my guide and I realized it was the same bushbuck in the same spot as the previous day, go figure.

I’m also researching BCI Actylic for the finishing work on the display areas. I have a 3rd trip to Africa coming up in August. I need to slow down!

That sounds like an incredible project! Even with only 625 sq. ft., those tall ceilings should make a huge difference in displaying everything properly. A trophy room combined with a pool table and recreation area sounds like a fantastic setup. Looking forward to seeing the finished pictures and that interactive walkthrough. Good luck on your upcoming Africa trip, and hopefully you’ll bring back some more memories to fill the room!
