Basement finished, African trophies in.

Last summer I refinished my basement with thr Trophy room idea in mind. The basement is a walkout and has ceilings as high as 10 feet in some areas. I have been waiting for my trophies from my May 2009 Botswana hunt to come in and they are in and up!

Trophies look great - it must be nice to have a 10 foot walls in your basement.

Nice trophies and great taxidermy too! I have pretty much decided unless I ever take a Top Ten trophy I plan to do European mounts with a nice field photo; eland being a perfect example! Your beautiful mounts make it more difficult. Very nice!

I am not a fan of European mounts but I love how these turned out. I'm very happy with the work Peter did at Gameheads LTD.

GREAT job...Very TASTEFULLY done

BTW, what size are those pics, i.e., next to the Oryx?

I like the color of the walls and the lighting and taxidermy....geez I love the whole she-bang!

And those picture frames are really cool!

This is a really, really classy looking setup, Geoff. I like the mix of trophy styles and the layout a lot.

The lighting turned out great but I must admit it was my contractors idea. He thought of use some adjustable mini spot lights so I could aim the light where I wanted it and be flexible with the mounting. There are 3 separate areas soffit areas with the directional lighting.

Very cool! That eland is huge! And your springbok is excellent as well.

Very nicely done.

Looks great. I like how you have a photo of each trophy next to it.

Same here - that was the biggest thing that added to the display outside of that superb lighting. I hate to say it Geoff, but I'm stealing that idea when my stuff gets here ~July. You really did a fine, fine job with your layout.
