Trophy/reloading/man cave build

He is seeing if it is worthy of his stamp of approval.
 
Like the room. I remember an old hunting book from the 1980's that talked about trophy rooms. Dark wood for skulls, mt goats and Dall's sheep and light wood for darker colored animals.

Always liked that.

Lights make a huge difference.

I don't like dark rooms as I can't get enough light in my eyes normally to make things work. Just don't have enough light reception to be happy with that kind of a room. it is pretty though. I don't actually care for forest for the same reason. I feel like someone turned my lights out.
 
Getting closer!

Started putting some things in the room. I am not going to put anymore elk in the room as they take up a lot of space.

I plan to put some 8x10 or so photos next to some of the trophy’s from each of the actual hunts.

I was curious how the dark walls were going to work out, but I see it’s fantastic. Good lighting is something I need to work on in my room. Yours makes the mounts “POP” great job!
 
What a fabulous design and execution! Congratulations!!
 
Outstanding! Love the contrast between the corrugated metal and the wood. Well done.
 
Me likey--congratulations.
Glad to see your family and friends will enjoy the mounts. Went to a Mariano's restaurant in Dallas and there were 6 mountain sheep heads which had been DONATED to the place! Some very impressive measurements on the Big Horn, and especially the Desert Big Horn. Kind of made me sad it was all just given away. My wife was nonplussed to know how much all those hunts would have cost!
 
Room Looking Good !!!

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
