He has an impressive array of animals spread over a couple rooms. Maybe he doesn't have photos. I have photos but they're really old. So they don't show all the added mounts and rearranging that's been done. This first bunch is my first trophy room. The birds in the alcove below are a chukar (upper right), ringneck and a male & female Mearns below the Eastern turkey. The 23-lb. northern pike is from the Hotlitna River in Alaska. These are of the newer addition I built several years ago as a family/trophy room to house my African, New Zealand and misc. critters. I often refer to it as the Marc Plunkett Gallery since he had mounted nearly everything in it when these photos were shot. L to R -- Nyala, warthog, Black wildebeest, blesbok, kudu. Ctr. -- Red deer stag -- New Zealand L to R. -- Gemsbok, Impala, Blue Wildebeest L to R. -- Springbok, bushbuck from Africa, chamois and tahr from NZ New location of bear These are additions since these photos were taken. 6 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had I not screwed up, there would have been four more life-size mounts and one half javelina. In the photo below, there are life-size bear hides hanging in the corner and draped on an armchair. There is a huge tanned lion (9' tail to nose) hide over the coffee table, and a tanned blackbuck hide on the left end table. Unfortunately, I waited too long to get the work done, so all the tanning oils dried out because I didn't store them properly in a freezer. If they are rewet now, they will tear in the stretching process. These are some in-the-field pix. Randy Epperson with my lion from the Sycamore Wilderness Area. In the tree. These are the two BC black bears. The biggest was 8'6" and the other was 7'3" nose to tail. I had a big red salmon to use for the biggest with it standing and the fish in its mouth. I hadn't decided on a pose for the other one. That's Roy Pattison (now deceased) and Mike Bond measuring the big bear. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have moved quite a few mounts and added several since they were taken. Surprised no one has commented on the unusual one showing in one of the photos. I remember telling you it might be the only such mount like that in the whole state. 🤣 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
couesdeerhntr Report post Posted November 11, 2019 I am just amazed at all the animals in that house. Very special to have all those memories all over the house. I am sure a story for everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
