Good start!
Wood! Put those mounts on a wood wall!
If you can find an old cedar fence that has blown down, ask if you can dismantle it for free and save what you can.


swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

You have to remember that 1 out of 3 Democratic Voters is just as dumb as the other two.

That's looking good so far. And some great ideas on the replies.

Make yourself a Rustic Bench. Place between the window & corner. 5 pieces of firewood equals a poor man's bench. That will give you something else to do...lol.





Add some ole trapping, hunting & fishing signs...

This is something different if you can find one. Bears leave their calling cards on trees to make their presence known. I found one on a friends property and turned it into a lamp. Shade courtesy of the local Amish. The claw marks are clearly visible and there is still hair trapped in the bark.

This will be interesting as I'm also in the middle of doing a room. Two things I'm looking for is one different ways to trim the window and two is a ceiling light. Don't like any bought ones so far. I'm leaning at making my own. Say maybe a old minnow bucket. This is another room we did this summer. Fake beams. It is a living room-kitchen area.

Thanks! I looked for one of these for a long, long time and eventually stumbled onto one when I was out looking for places to put bear baits. This one broke the ice because I've found several since.

I want to thank you guys for being so welcoming to a new poster. You've all been great. I had to pass a background check more stringent than the military requires in order to post here. Just kidding, but Paul wanted to make sure he wasn't letting an anti in here. I completely understand that.

My “poor mans trophy room” is about six feet by 3 feet by 3 feet. Well one of them is. I have three and try to keep them full all the time.

My All Purpose Boy has a cool "Bear Tree" on his property. It's an old Beech that has claw scars from several generations of bears. It is mostly hollow and will topple one of these first days. We hope to save a section of the trunk to put in his man-room, which is basically his entire log home. If he changes his mind I will save it to somehow display in my place.

Here is a lamp I made for my All Purpose Girl. Crap! I can't rotate the darn things!

At any rate, it was made from a beaver log that I dredged up somewhere.

My hunting room.






I did the trim around the window myself. They are all beaver chews from my sister's property. It took almost 2 months start to finish.


When life gets me down..... you know hunting/trapping season is closed.

Thanks! To bad I won't have it much longer. My wife is pregnant with our 3rd, so that is gonna be our new daughters room. We have two boys already (10 and 12) and we were hoping for a girl. Well, our wish came true, then I was informed that I'd be loosing my hunting room. So, I informed her that either our bedroom or the living room would be my new hunting roomgrin.
