Since I've been battling an injury this hunting season, which has kept me from doing a whole lot in the outdoors I've been playing around with my home trying to make it look like a hunting lodge....this is the start....now no real trophy whitetails but lots of good memories(found out I suck at trophy hunting), mostly all bow kills on stateland or junk farms....

Looking for some good lodge type ideas to finish my lodge...
Fishing, trapping, or what ever you might have pictures of on how you have done your trophy lodge rooms....
Also looking for a vintage crow mount to put in the branch....

Looks great! I've got to decorate the front porch but don't laugh to much yet it's 26' x 60' and I hope to fill it with all sorts of fun stuff ha ha

My trophy room is 14X27
I have every rack I've shot mounted, even spikes
Now that Lyme has damaged my memory I am glad that I do, I wrote a name on the back of every plaque, that reminds me of the hunt. One us "tractor" which reminds me that the nieghbor's was brush-hogging his field just 50 yards away when that buck came to me

And lots of pictures
Fish and turkeys

Just installed new entry door and new flooring
And some shed antlers, and skulls found

Have been trying to figure out for the past few years how to display more fur, think I got it figured out but it involves holes in my solid wood doors so hesitating to do it

Bee hive is on my list, I've been searching, want put it up in the tree above the antlers.

Snowshoes is a most, I want a unique set, some day I'll find them....

Traps are going up for sure, have some vintage trapping catalogs, like Hudson Bay and others....
Have my furs just need to get them tanned....

Michigan trappin, great job...

Any more ideas?

A few wall hanger furs for sure. But what might look really cool? Find an old Coleman lantern, and wire it as a hanging light fixture to replace the one in the picture?

You need some fur in that room. I took an old weathered board drilled a few holes in it, placed short pieces of dowel rod and hung some furs on it.

This will be mine if I ever get the thing built. Cut the logs myself, peeled them and notched them. Lot of work.
