Title: Memory Room Redo
Post by: Dsturgisjr on June 28, 2011, 08:49:00 PM
Several years ago I posted some pics of my memory room. Since then I finally finished remodeling the house we live in. It only took about 24 years! Anyway wanted to share a few pics. Everything was taken with a longbow.

My wife would kill me......then have me mounted on the wall.  She said I could have one. So I guess it had better be a good one. Enjoyed the tour. That was amazing.

Very, very nice!  I like your color combinations on the walls also.  Now that you have your "memory room" filled up, maybe an addition is in sight!

Unbelievable!!!!! I have to ask have you ever calculated what you spent in taxidermy fees? Oh and if you sleep walk you could lose an eye or puncture a lung with all those antlers in that house...LOL
Title: Re: Memory Room Redo
Post by: Dsturgisjr on June 29, 2011, 10:05:00 PM
lpcjon2, NO! lol My taxidermist sends Rod Jenkins a card at Christmas though.

Thanks guys. There is stuff mounted in other areas of the house too; out of controll really. I do need a big elk and muley for sure. If all gos well the next year I'll be hunting for quite a few new species. Good luck out there making memories.   :)

Denny, I need to have my wife talk with yours.  I have a wonderful memory room as well, but there is no way I could get a mount or two in the master bedroom!  Although, the deer in there could be hers! I know she enjoys the hunt as well.

Congratulations on all the memories and the beautiful manner in which you display them.
Title: Re: Memory Room Redo
Post by: Shaun on July 03, 2011, 04:45:00 PM
Denny, I love the small whitetail antlers and master bedroom mount - its not just the giants and the exotics that bring back memories. Great job of displaying so many fine hunts.

That is Marie's first recurve buck on her side of the bed. She shot the big tom in the entry also. She is a great gal - didn't hardly comment when I hung a warthog over the stool.   :)

Denny, that is hilarious! "a warthgog over the stool"!  Now that's classic! I love it!

Awesome, funny I suggested a moose mount over our bed and my wife did not go for it at all   :dunno:

Post by: SKlometz on October 05, 2011, 11:00:00 PM
lv2hunt  just stick that moose over the bed she will learn to love it or you will sleep better with the bed to yourself.
