My new Trophy Room


At the moment only an open space, but tomorrow we are starting to put up new walls etc. The area when ready will be aprox 900 square feet.

It will be needed when I get my fibreglass Rhino and Giraffe in a couple of month.

Plenty of space there Christer, you will need many more animals to fill it.

Ann,

I have plenty of mounts, horns, skinns etc coming together with the next shipment plus that all my previous trophies are under the cover in the image.

But there will also be space for some new trophies before I have to extend the room. Big Grin

Will you still be using the stands that your trophies were put on ? They were rather nice and you could move the trophies easy as well.

I always try to use enough gun but then sometimes a brainshot works just as good.

I havent decided yet what to do, maybe I will use the same sort of textile fabric that I covered all my trophies with in the picture.

Ready so far, will have more trophies in may/june and then see what to do with the roof. Will also put up a lot of photos and art.















This is at the entrance at my office just outside the trophy room.

Very nice, very nice ! clap

You have plenty of space for a lot more trophies meaning you will have to hunt more. Even if you have a lot more trophies coming this year.

Looks like a fricken IKEA store.

You need a bar with a thatched roof, and a baboon with a bowl of Beer Nuts.

Also, I don't see any buffalo in that room, other than you dancing

At least he has a rhino on the way that will end up there in June/July.

But otherwise what can I say CChunter cannot resist cheap animals for his trigger happy finger. rotflmo

Room looks like its gonna be real nice. Kind of off subject, but i was wondering how well that 310gr Woodleigh worked in your 35 Whelen on that Giraffe? Did you get complete penetration? Did you recover any bullets? Do you know how fast your load was? Sorry about all the questions but im real interested in the performance of that bullet, thanks for your time.

No problem with an off topic question, bullet went through the heart and stopped in the lungs but we could never find it.

Used it also on an Eland with two shots but the bullet we found was demolished quite bad.
