Nice, how high are the walls?

Jeebus thats cool! I particularly love the bobcat making a grab for the ruffed grouse.

How do you get the dust off the mounts? Just curious as I gotta give a few of mine a good cleaning soon...

It is kinda scary gettin up there to clean!
I have 18ft ceilings in that room.
We have our Christmas Tree in the front of the room and it is covering up several of my mounts.
(The wife still has some clout in my room!)

LAST EDITED ON Jan-05-05 AT 06:14PM (MST)[p]Maybe a dump question, how did you get your walls that high? Are there two studs one on top of another?

Outstanding! Lots of claws and canines in yours. Very nice, Harry.

Ben-You use 18' foot 2x6's and cut them to stud length(3 3/8" shorter than overall wall height) and block the middle for a firestop and sheer strength. Then stand it with a crane or a bunch of badasses. Stacking walls allows a hinge point in the middle instead of continuous members(He said member)

Dallan thats a lynx.

Wyomingben · Jan 5, 2005

What stud spacing? 18ft 2x6's sounds expensive

I have a hard time finding straight 8ft boards here!

Don't follow this?

HH,

Great looking house and great looking mounts. Had a question on what you used to hang your animals. We have a big mule deer mount we are trying to hang up high like that since we have walls similar to yours and its a real pain. If you could tell me how you did it i would be very appreciative.

thank you
Garrett

Harry, you da man! I also like that cat/sheep mount. It is next to impossible to find a taxidermist that can do a cat mount and make it look real and not dried out and stretched, but you did. That is why I havent had any of my cats done, the guys around here do great work on deer etc, but suck at cats and bears. Good job man.

Wyoming ben you should hire a contractor. Or you could do it yourself, then you will only have your self to blame.
And quit talking about one stud on top of the other stud. Thats just gross.
That reminds me!! Do you guys know how to build a lesbian house? ............. No studs, its all tongue and groove.

HunterHarry · Jan 6, 2005

Thanks for all the kind remarks guys!
I know lots of guys have more and bigger trophies than mine.
What I have, took about 20 years to get, it didn't happen overnight.
I pinched and saved and busted ass to get what I have, Hell My wife and I slept in an Outfitter's tent for a couple months just before we got our house.
My Brown Bear hunt was about 1/6 of my yearly income!
I was brown baggin' it for a long time to pull that one off!
If you ain't born rich, you gotta make sacrafices to afford to play the game.
If I can do it, any of you guy's can too!
Just don't loose sight of your goals.
