what does your trophy room contain?

I need more deer so I can get a bigger house. Nice stuff guys..........

[Coues 'n' Sheep]

Hey, Hooked on Coues. That half body goat is really cool. I've never seen one done like that..... I like it.

Like how all the bucks are looking in the same directions, it'll creep out treehuggers enterin the house

[GRONG]

Couldn't get any pictures taken lately because I have been busy. But here are some pics of the trophy room in the making.

 

This is a pic of some of the better coues sheds I have in my growing collection. Nothing like most of your guys's but its a start.

 

 

This is a pic of a portioin of my elk sheds. And my only set up in the front. I didnt think they were a match at first but when I found them 4 years ago they were brown and 10 feet away from each other and the g1's have a neat twist to them.

 

 

This is the main wall. It has all the pics of our big game animals and dog trial placements.

 

 

My dad's deer from this year

This is a picture of a Minnisota pheasant my dad got a while ago and a picture of my dad and his first hunting dog.

 

 

Here is a closeup of my dads deceased pup. He was the best dog I have had the fortune to hunt over.

 

 

Here is my dads bobcat that he shot from out porch when we lived in Queen Creek on acerage.

Hope everybody likes these we are proud of our wall so far and it is a work in progress. Hopefully will have 2 elk and 2 more deer up there after this year

My wife and I have quite a collection going, but we haven't figured how to get them to stay on the wall yet!

To get those to stay on the wall just long enough to snap a pic. I would use a good staple gun and some duct tape. But you better be quick, and get it done before mom gets home. LOL..

The first batch of pix are older ones of my original trophy room. It's a bit rearranged now but pretty much has the same critters. The second batch below the ***s is a new addition I added on to my family room last year to house my African/NZ critters. Still have a tahr, chamois and life-size wallaby at the taxidermist. -TONY

 

Old trophy room:

 

I originally built this one as an indoor spa room and then did all the remodeling work, including building the cabinets and end tables, which are made from 50-yr. old recycled pine paneling from a downtown Phoenix landmark that was razed when Chase Field was built. The chest in a later photo is also something I built.

 

This is through the entry from the living room, which once was a 6'-wide sliding door. AZ blackbear rug on the wall with my grandfather's Parker Bros. 10 ga.

 

 

Coyote has a Gambel's quail in it's mouth. There are bear skulls, blackbuck horns, a couple small whitetail racks and Mexico Coues deer rack scattered about. The turkey is an eastern from MO, but I didn't do anything with the Merriam's, Rio Grande, Osceola or Gould's that I also killed over the years. On the wall with the tom are a pair of Mearns quail, chukar and flying ringneck.

 

 

Photo from the entry toward the left. BC blackbear hides hanging in the corner and covering the armchair in lower left corner. A mountain lion hide drapes the chest and a blackbuck hide covers the end table. That's a Russian boar in the upper left next to my best mulie buck, which is hung next to a mulie doe. Antlers on the lamp shade are an SCI book blacktail buck (CA) that wasn't officially entered because I don't do record books.

 

 

Photo from the entry to the right. 5X6 elk antlers in corner and horns from a Santa Cruz Island Merino ram on the table atop a hairless deer hide. Fish over bear is a 14# brown trout, Alaskan pike upper right is 23 lbs. That's a bobcat rug on the wall and just the very bottom of a BC mountain caribou showing.

 

 

Photo of wall over the entry. NWT central barren ground 'bou to the left and an AK barren ground in the middle. Lower left are my first Coues deer, a javelina and 3.5# grayling from a river that runs into Great Bear Lake, NWT. Whitetail is from MO, mulie is my first mule deer buck, killed in 1961.

 

 

BC 60" moose and the nose of a 34# lake trout from the Yukon to the right. The two exotic sheep behind the moose are a Corsican and a black Hawaiian. The antlers below the moose are a small 4x4 mulie.

 

 

Two AZ 'lopes and a TX whitetail.

 

 

North Kaibab buck and his mate. Little Coues buck on plaque.

 

 

Coues deer on left, my first AZ 'lope (1963)in the middle and a Montana 'lope on the right.

 

 

BC bear, which is now in the new room. African Skulls/horns scattered about are mounted now and hang in the new room, as well.

 

 

*****

This is the new 14'x32' addition to the old family room to the left. The big archway was originally the rear wall of the house.

 

 

L to R: Nyala, warthog, black wildebeest, blesbuck, kudu, red stag, gemsbok, impala and blue wildebeest out of the frame to the right.
