Man those small one's are killing me.

You have a great collection.

If I ever get to Norway i would like to look at your room.

Regards Mark

I'm addicted to hunting the small ones myself. Love the challenge. And they make for easy to place mounts as well
If you ever get to Norway you're welcome to visit!

Very nice Anders! I can't wait to have a trophy room one day!

I'm looking forward to seeing what you do for lighting. I'm still designing my next house and hope to start building by November. The trophy/game room in my project looks very similar to this... it's offset from the main house with the cathedral ceiling like you have. My sidewalls are expected to be 12 feet, and peak of the ceiling at 20 feet.

What are the length and width measurements of your room?

Looking good. Keep the updates coming!

Opus72,
Thanks!

Sorry for me being on the metric system, but I'll try to convert.
Length of the room is 9,3 meters and width is 8,2 meters. That will be around 30x27 feet.
Sidewalls 11 feet and ceilings at 17 feet.

I'm using a lot of time finishing this room. Talking to different people about lighting. Don't want to stress it to much. Hopefully I'll get a good result.

Excellent. My room is planned to be 25x30, so our rooms are very similar. I'm glad you posted this and I'm looking forward to seeing the animals make their way into their new home.

Thanks and good luck to you! Hope you'll post some updates on the progress

Anders,
How's the room coming along?

This prosject sure has taken a lot more time than I expected.
Only small things missing now. Putting up the lights and finishing the floor. I just need to wait for the electrican. And that is my brother who's quite busy at the moment. Will take some pics during the weekend and share them

Any news on your project?

Plans are back from the engineer, but we're not breaking ground until after my return from Zimbabwe. We're shooting for Oct 1st as a start date.

No update for a while. Been too busy hunting

Managed to finish mounting the lightning system. This is a flexible rail system, and allows me to change direction, numbers and "power" on the spots. It will also allow me to add more rails if neccesary.

I'm very happy with the results. Maybe I need to add some spots in the future. Now I can remove the scaffold and finish the floor

My room is finally finished!
Well, almost.. Been moving mounts and hanging them lately. It's quite difficult to decide were to put the different trophies. I'm in no rush. Better to use some time, than to move them a few days later.











Will put out some more pics, when the rest is in place. And when I can afford to buy some furniture

Good for you. Take your time and relish he moments. You will have many years of enjoyment and the proper placement of trophies is always an issue. Just remember, no matter how you place them, they will look spectacular. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks!

Here's a couple more.

Fantastic room. Congratulations.

Great pictures, great room Anders! In fact... I'm green with envy

I only check on this forum occasionally, but the Muntjak mount discussion over on the Euro Forum made me realize there might be pictures of further progress available. I think you can be both highly satisfied and not a little proud of what you have achieved!!

Now onto the expensive (but fun) part - filling it all up with trophies...

Looking great Anders, the hard work has definitely paid off!

Thanks a lot for the kind words, guys!

Great looking trophy room Anders.
Well done.
I love the Ménage à trois Springboks

Anders, if you don't mind me asking, how much did your room cost to build? I am looking into building a room like this for myself. Thanks!

I came in on this late but read it from start to finish. Got to admit it was hard not to jump to the back to see the finished product but wanted to see it at every stage. Just an absolute awesome trophy room Anders and something anyone would be proud of.

I am looking for that same picture you have that shows the continent of Africa with all of its game animals. May I ask where I could get one?

The great thing about such a room is that you could probably never consider it fully finished. It will be in constant change

Thanks again, guys. I really appreciate it!

Sending you a PM, Ozultra. But here's a link to the map I ordered:

Thanks Anders for the link, and info on your room! I hope to have a room like this in the future...

Awesome room Anders! I finally got some of my trophies that I shot with Boet Nel in 05 and 07 to the taxidermist! So hopefully next year they will be back in Alaska hanging on the wall! Sure love those smaller animals you shot. Thinking next time I get back over to Africa, that is what I will hunt for. Thanks for sharing!

Anders,

A lot of thought went into your room. The lighting is so important, so well done.

I wish you many years of enjoyment reliving your hunts. And you are right, it's a never ending process.

Thanks for sharing it

Best-

Very nice room!

A while back I finally had money to buy some furniture for the room
And last weekend I picked up some new mounts. Hope you enjoy!

Looks great Anders

Amazing room Anders That Ibex mount os something else.
The day I can afford a trophy room I hope I can see yours before I start?
Er fra Grenland opprinnelig

That Ibex is a really neat mount idea.

Sabla fin ibex, Anders

Torbjorn

Very nice.
I can see many hours of pleasure in this room.

Really nice room!

Gave me some great ideas, thanks!

I absolutely love that ibex skull.

Cheers,

Chris
