Blake_08 started it. Posted a (freakin' gorgeous !!) pic of where he displays his trophies.
Post up pics of where you display your whatever. Mounts. Call collections. Artwork. Turkey hunting or any kind of hunting stuff.
There is no such place in my house. I don't keep anything but meat, memories and a picture. My guns are on a rack in the basement and my hunting clothes in a metal cabinet. I had a few mounts, but I left them in the office when I retired
Mine is still under construction. Have it 3/4 of the way finished but it's not picture worthy yet. I have never had an animal mounted yet. Just cut off the antlers, beards or spurs and add them to the collection. Heck I lost most of my beards from my early days. Since living in the house I own now I think I have managed to keep them all

I have the grand slam tailfans mounted on a wall next to my desk but don't have a photo. I think I'll get one of those grand slam mounts to get them in a closer space. There are a couple of european deer mounts above the desk, again no pics of that. And i don't want to straighten up my desk right now to take another picture. :TooFunny:
wchadw............. Diggin' the pattern pics !!! I never thought of anything like that. :icon_thumright:
Tail Feathers......... I see box calls. ;D And take the pics !!! I sure don't care about no messy desk. And I bet nobody else does either. Love to see those fans.
I can't make a picture large enough to display all of mine ... :TooFunny:

I'm not done working on this, just got it. These are just some quick pictures with the cell phone, I'll post some better ones once I get everything sorted out and use my camera so they look better. I've been trying to get one of these for years.

I would post photos of my personal space but ever since G. Massey got me addicted to buy custom calls from the masters my space is now a locker at the bus terminal. Thanks Greg!

Zobo, that garage is way too clean. Can you come do mine?! :TooFunny:
Here's "the garage". It's about 95% done. Still need to stick in a couple recessed LED's and screw some faceplates on. Still don't know where the fan mounts are gonna go. First time I ever used the panorama thing on my phone camera. So apologies for a couple of the pics being a bit "bent".

All my prints are (go figure) turkeys. I have more of them than I have wall space in the garage.......even if I took down all the mounts. So I'll rotate one or two in and out.
On the wall at the moment, from left to right :

There's another Ned Smith to the right of the barn door.

Thank you, sir.
The mounts were all done by a long-time friend of mine. He actually runs an accredited school of taxidermy and has been awarded "Best Overall Taxidermist" in the state of Pennsylvania in the state competition.
The woodwork is very special to me. When the emerald ash borer started hitting my property, I took my saw and my Kubota BX and cut, skidded and landed what would saw 1900 BF of ash and also some cherry that had fallen. All the wood in the garage came from my property by my hands. Also.......the majority of the wood trim AND a stunning cherry hardwood floor/trim in my daughter's bedroom came from that logging project.
The box calls lined in front of and shelved under the turkey are some of it. The ones I don't mind too much if a random person picks one up and starts squawking on it. ::) The ones I do mind are locked in the brown box call safe. :police:
Yoder, that's a lot of hard work, very impressive. It certainly paid off, looks awesome! Get any box calls made out of your property's wood?
Not the man cave many have but our living room wall has a nice sample of pursuit species and I just started on the new cabin wall but don't have any turkeys up there yet other than a stack of beards and spurs in an ammo box.

I made the slate-over-glass call I've been using for 20 years or so from walnut that was cut on family property. I do not, yet, have any boxes made from my own woods. I do have some air-drying Chinese chestnut from family property, some 100+ year old American chestnut from family barn beams. But I've got some walnut, cherry, maple and sassafras on my property that I need to get down, sawn and started to dry. I'm not getting any younger. Be nice to take some birds with calls made from those.
