Beginning to get them back up on the wall. Not all inside though! Only 6 1/2 more crates to go... Oh Lord.




More to come... more work too!





Entry way



Ceiling over dining room (LOL please! )

Looks good so far. Post more as you get them up!

That is the plan, some before and after shots as well...what a difference paint vs notty pine!

Do you plan to leave the buff skull near the pool? I haven't seen that done before but it looks good. I would just be nervous about something happening to it. I like the baboon sitting on the wall too. Nice whitetails...Keep the photos coming.

Where do you deer hunt? You have some big boys there!

Since a picture is worth a thousand words or so... May move one of the Buff's to here


Which sits just left of here


And rename it the Buffalo Bar, now if only I can find a local source for some Castles.


FYI: Most of the Whitetails are from Chitek Lake Saskatchewan. Started hunting there in 1988.

Ooo...very nice. Did you build that bar or was it there before? It would be great to have an open fire ring somewhere in there but probably against code.

Actually the TiKi came with the house, and a firepit is acceptable!

The old house in the country

The old digs, country

I remember some of that now. Geez, when are you going to get to go fishing with all of those hunts on the wall?

Why didn't you let those Saskatoon deer grow up?

I like the baboon best of all.

Man, that is a BIG pineapple!

Time for some more photos, eh? What is that blue thing on your roof that looks like a pipe?

Looks nice!

Yes, it is! Had a crew and some light scaffolding last PM... the results are below.

The Pipe is part of the solar heating system for the pool. Gas heat going in in a couple of weeks.

Enjoy, we are. The kitchen




Last of the Family room

The transition from study to Family



Study to be

I am sure beers tastes better in that buffalo bar !! Great buff also

Thanks Lorenzo, I just finished hanging #1 in the bar and left #2 by the pool to give the bartender (me) a view...

The one by the pool is just too cool.

Now I have to trim the long bush to keep him visable!

Thanks for the encouragement during this trying process one and all. AR members drink free if they can guess the spreads. After all this is Vegas.

Very awesome trophy house. I wish my wife would let me do my house the same way but......

308 Sako,

My house although not as palatial as yours has mounts throughout. Personally I find them much more ejoyable that way than in a designated trophy room. Our house is decorate with trophies and momentos of our hunting not as secondary theme.

Palatial! Why thank you... but hardly.

Mark, when your life has bee spent in the pursuit of game, and the very "things" which personify you are your mounts and the assorted bits and pieces of collections one room is wholly inadequate. It of course has helped that the bride is a hunter as well! I guess that I am from a different time and could care less what others think is right. I will say that whenever someone new has been to our new home they have been amazed. Guess this is not the NY'r they expect! Viva Las Vegas!

Thanks to one and all for the comments and well wishes.

All I can think to say is "Wow!"

Dave

Oh M'God!
