Trophy Room Build after 45 years of hunting

[30.06king]

@JES Adventures
Popped in again this morning to check this thread after not doing so for several weeks.
I am completely in awe. I wondered at the start why such an enormous trophy room was being constructed, now I totally understand. I am more than a little envious of how much of your life could be dedicated to the finest adventure a man could comtemplate. Well done sir I say.
Could I ask a tiny favour if you could possibly fine the time ?. Would you mind post closer pics of your Lord Derby Eland ( head / neck and horns ) and Bezoar Ibex please ? I have particular interest in those as they are game I personally have hunted. Just love to heavy horn bases on the Bezoar Ibex.
As others posted, many thanks again for involving us all in this fascinating project.

Thank you for the kind words @30.06king

Here’s a few pics as requested. These are no doubt two of my most favorite trophies, from distinctly different habitats.

You can see my LDE had a unique knot on his nose. I had him mounted to be exact.

Fantastic everywhere you look. Love your bezoar...wow, the mass. Is that a tur behind it or a blue sheep?

Those are 2 magnificent looking animals.

.....Would that LDE be considered a cross between a rhino and an eland, or a unicorn and an eland?.........either or still pretty cool.

That is a Southeastern Spanish Ibex.

There are two Blue Sheep on the top of the mountain. Nepalese and Chinese.

WOW!! AWESOME!! Please give us a very, very slow 360 video when your trophy room is complete. A museum of your own.

Now for the question:

How / What are you planning to keep your trophy room free, or minimally, dust free?

This Sir is definitely the ultimate in a trophy room/ man's cave. Understatement of all time: This is just fantastic.

My humble and grateful thanks for obligingly posting those pics. Just what I wanted to see.
I agree with the comment about the horn mass of the Bezoar Ibex. I believe mass is a quality all of it's own.
The nose bump of the LDE must be quite unique, perhaps adding some special quality to the trophy ? Do you know if it was bone growth or soft tissue ?
And, yes please, I like the suggestion of a 360 degree video of the completed trophy room and contents when all is done. Would really like to see that.
