Trophy Room Build after 45 years of hunting

I respectfully suggest, you have an AH open house for the grand opening of your trophy room. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Seriously, that is coming along beautifully. Congrats sir!
I’m with PARA45! AH open house!

@JES Adventures The place is coming along beautifully! That mountain Nyala is incredible. Funny how certain animals stand out to different people.
 
Very welldone are you not missing a klipspringer, vaal reebuck and mountain reebuck in the mountain build??
 
@Frederik Here are the pictures of other African Mountain game. I still have a Chandlers Mountain Reedbuck to add once taxidermy is finished.

I know that is your North American wall of bears -But did you full mount your brown bear from Romania you hunted with Marius?

If so where will he end up in this spectacular room?

It looks fantastic and I hope to see this trophy room one day.

I had the Romanian Brown Bear made into a traditional bear rug. So, it will go on the wall somewhere in the room.

Thank you for the kind words @dchum I hope to see you here one day!

I am living vicariously through you. This is a true work of art. Please tell me that there will be single malt scotch in stock in those cabinets.
The bar will be stocked proper!

Thank you @Frederik, I have been truly Blessed.
 
Amazing space and thr stories to go with it I'm sure are equally fantastic. Love seeing the updates!
 
We had an interesting occurrence yesterday. The tile man was working away when he saw a snake go across the floor and into the African habitat. The taxidermist and his helper were finally able to catch the snake after some time (a harmless Coachwhip) and release it View attachment 616805in the pasture.

I told the taxidermist that I really appreciate the effort he is putting in to make the scenes realistic but this was taking it a bit too far!

We speculate he came in through a hole around air conditioning lines so promptly sealed those up to alleviate any future problems.

Could there be a:

You might be a safari hunter if you add a live snake to your trophy scenery.
