Muskox needs to come down about 8" and the bison looks lonely. All in all it's coming along nicely.
Honest to God, Sqr..........I have no idea, I had too much red wine at a charity auction a couple years back...........what can I say, I liked them. They are all handmade by the same gentleman, from wood not plastic and I'm sure I paid way too much for them, but it was a charity auction..........I may have to find a new place to display them though..........They don't really fit the motif and actually kinda interfere with the mounts.

The room looks awesome.
I'm not sure if I am more impressed by your trophies or the fact you have a room you can get a forklift into.

The room was designed from the very beginning as a trophy room. The exterior doors are 8 feet high and six feet wide so I can bring in a life mount caribou or moose if I need to. I put a lot of thought into the design of the room and access for bigger fixtures like my pool table.

Pool tables are a pain in the balls. I believe that my wife has somehow taken custody of the neighbours' pool table and now it will be on me to somehow get the damned thing from their house to mine and up the stairs into the kids' play room. On the bright side, it's unlikely to end up covered in laundry up there.
Not at all BUM, the company who built it, drove it out from Calgary and assembled and levelled it............it's on a 6" thick concrete floor, which is on 6' deep footings, in virgin ground.............doubt it'll ever move. No pain in back or balls..........for me...
C'mon, I saw pics of you with Charlie, and I know Charlie............you can just pick it up under one arm and carry it home..........up the stairs might be another matter. See this is exactly why I have a 4'X8' opening into my gunshop and a 6'X8' exterior doorset into my trophy room...........with age and experience comes wisdom...........sometimes.
Unlike a pool, a pool TABLE requires very little maintenance.........But mine's still talking about an indoor pool..........now that is a pain in the balls. Consider yourself lucky, BUM.

I have yet to shoot a mulie worthy of the taxidermy bill..........35 years in the Yukon with no deer to hunt has left me somewhat light on what most would consider the usual wall hanger game. I do have 3 more caribou mounts coming though...........
I did some memory crunching last night and it seems I have another 16 mounts to come yet..........a zebra pedestal mount and full zebra rug, 2 giraffe head/neck floor standing mounts and back skin rugs, 3 caribou shoulder mounts, a grizzly and wolf life mounts, a lion and leopard life mounts, a hippo partial floor mount, puku and mtn reed buck shoulder mounts, croc skin, walrus head mount.
Space is becoming a problem............so is layout.........I guess these would be considered "first world" difficulties............
Not happy with my large ungulate wall..........doesn't look right to me.........any suggestions??????????[/QUOTE]
My humble opinion...since you ask... I would take the "velvet Boo" down and replace with the buff cow, Put the velvet Boo where the bottom elk is, move the elk up to the void where the cow buff was and re-hang the far left boo so it hangs even with where the velvet on is.

I have a plan that I think will work........I'll post pics when I get it up and looking the way I want.
Yep KMG those are the "Magnificent Seven" by Paul Bosman.

I hate to say it, but I would repaint darker. That white looks like a hospital room.
Mr. Bean style is more effective and time saving.
