My Little Trophy Room

[Lrntolive]

I finally got all my mounts into one place. I was surprised how big my elk was, but I kept it as the centerpiece.

I do have one question for my fellow AH hunters. Has anyone done a full body mount of a steenbok at rest an placed it under a glass coffee table or side table? I'm returning to Namibia this year with my wife and would like another one, but full mount.

It is surprising how much room any mounted trophy takes up.

I think you may have an issue with a Steenbok "bedded" under a glass table. I think there might be too much height to work. A Cabinet might work though.

I can suggest that you go look at the forms on a taxidermy supply site and see what the dimensions are.

Love those big-bodied Whitetail!

Where are they from?

Add a nice hearth to the fire place and you will have a great place for a bedded steenbok!

Kansas. Family ranch. The one on the far right scores 161and change. He was the smallest one taken in 2016.

I like the idea, but I really wanted a center piece that would attract attention in the center of the room.

Maybe Guinea fowl instead? A small cat? I'm hunting with now again when I go back, so I'm somewhat limited.

A small cat?

My wife has a black one. I’ll see if you can have it.

 

[CAustin]

Looking good!

Not that kind. I'm allergic to those!

A caracal would work for you

 

[Ridgewalker]

Very nice space! I’m envious!
I think you should cover the top of the shelves with predator skulls...bear, coyote, bobcat, caracal, genet, cougar, etc! Man would I be jealous then!!!

 

[Tra3]

I’m already envious! Nice room!

That elk is indeed a big rack.

Good looking room. We grow big bodied whitetail here in Kansas

Nice, thanks for sharing!

I'm thinking about putting some hand made snow shoes across the top behind the elk. Give it that outdoor adventurer look.

Yes they are. I go out there every year to my family's ranch. Kansas had some beautiful spaces, too.

That’s an awesome “little” trophy room. I hope I have a little room that looks as good as yours one day!

Thanks Jake!

I'm just lucky to have a wife that loves adventure as much as I do.
