New "trophy room"

[hickslawns]

Our oldest moved out. He is actually a nephew we raised the last 8 years. His room was studs, electric, and some insulation when he came to live with us. It is small (approximately 10'x10'.) Not a lot of room to work with. Knee walls on the sides with angled ceiling from the old cape cod portion of the house. This is the only wall without a knee wall other than the opposite wall. The opposite wall has a door and cut out section we built for a small closet. Room for 3 of my mounts. I'd love a man cave with tall ceilings with a row of deer heads all the same height. Maybe 2 rows in another 20-30yrs. For now this will work. 3 downstairs on main floor. 3 in this room. It removed 2 from my youngest son's room. It hung one up which has been off the wall and awaiting a spot. Anymore deer heads and I'll be negotiating with the Mrs or we'll have them floor to ceiling in this room.

I present you 2008 in the middle. My first mount. Shotgun buck which was a bruiser in the 275-300# range. I present you 2010 on the left. First archery buck which I now believe was a 3yr old (and I don't care as I'd shoot him again). I present 2014 on the right. First and only droptine buck. He was also a shotgun buck. First deer I dropped in it's tracks. The shed on top of him is 2 years prior. He was a 4.5yr old who only added the drop and mass. His right g2 was actually 1/4" shorter two years after I found the shed (the year I killed him).

Two more below. Maybe one on opposite wall. 2-3 in the dormer if you don't mind not being able to access the window. Yeah. I've studied the room. Maybe one on the wall to the right of the buck on the right. It would look like they are tangling antlers. Lol

When you run out of wall space, there’s always room for a couple pedestal mounts!
