Trophy Room......Finally Finished......Last Pics

I hate to say it, but I would repaint darker. That white looks like a hospital room.

If I ever end up in the hospital, i hope my room has a bar, pool table, and a ton of nice mounts on the wall...

Douglas, I am in awe. That collection is amazing. Also, learned something new, never heard of the tiny 10 before now... what did you use to shoot such small game?
 
Well it's been 5 days now and very little has been accomplished...............my forklift operator (#2 son) has quit making it pretty much impossible to continue. Not sure what to do at this point.............

Well Suther I used two rifles to be honest a 300 WM with 180 Parts, and a 300 Wby with 200 gn Parts. Tracking was NOT a problem...............

You don't say! Lol

I'm assuming you just used what was available at the time? Or are 30cal magnums typical for these guys?
 
Hmmm...g.f.y?

Oh, I get it...Good For You.

Yeah...yeah, that's what it means...:)

For the record, I think BUM has it right; that white paint is a little stark and clinical looking.:stirthepot2::rolleyes:

Well jjohn..................."G ood F or Y ou" too...................:):)

Fantastic room! This raises the bar and sets a new standard among the world's best, I'll bet.

As for the calls to paint the walls darker: you can't go halfway by dark-painting drywall -- either all-out wood panels, or museum-white to keep the focus on the mounts themselves. When there's so much stuff, the risk is clutter. Minimalist white guards against that and visually expands the room even further, while the dark floors anchor it -- a perfect combo.

Go to your local art gallery: white walls and dark floor, I'll wager.

If I lived closer, I'd offer a free helping hand in exchange for some stories and a game of pool.

Maybe we (CNG's) could convince you to start at one point on the wall with a weekly story on how that mount came to be. :)

Hey guys appreciate the offers................I'm just whining.............I want to get it done...........NOW

When I start something I like to finish it and I hate being put on hold..........just like the dull reamer screwed me around on my 8X68 imp project..........
 
I hear Leena Dunham is leaving the USA and coming to Canada because of the Trump victory. She may be looking for work and could probably learn how to operate a forklift. I'm sure you'd find her company and conversations on her world views riveting.
 
You are really looking out for me aren't ya 1899, just full of helpful ideas..........I sure appreciate that, but I suspect the forklift operator learning curve might be too steep for her..........who ever she is. I can glean from the context that I doubt our personalities would make for a very peaceful or productive work place. I suspect that even a glimpse of my room may require the attendance of EMS and resuscitation efforts !!!
Then there is all that immigrant worker paper work that has to be done and the 90 days of ads, for a local worker to fill the position...............just way too much red tape and about the same time frame as having another child to do the job.............Like I said, you're just full of helpful ideas..........:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
