2 Rocky Mtn Elk (shoulder)
1 whitetail (shoulder)
2 blacktail (shoulder)
1 moose rack (horn mount)
1 european floor mounted Rocky mtn Elk
1 bear rug
1 Antelope (Shoulder)
1 Feral sheep (Hawaii)
1 Feral Goat (Hawaii)
1 King Salmon (Alaska)

Running out wall space but still waiting for the right Mule deer.
Wife seems ok with everything and even gave her blessing on a life size bear or cougar mount if I get one in future, that's worth doing.

A buddy of mine that lives near Forest Grove has so much mounted his house looks like a museum.
6 4pt blacktails,
2 Rosie bulls (European mount & shoulder),
1 beaver,
2 turkey (full strut & flying),
a tanned elk hide (cow),
several trout,
a glass coffee table full of sheds,
black bear (shoulder),
hog (shoulder)
Mallard hen & drake pair
there is probably more, but I can't remember them all.

I know he has some stuff on it's way back from New Zealand too...
2 fallow deer (one European, one full body)
1 stag (shoulder)
1 Tar (shoulder)
1 Chamois(sp?) full body

For a small house, with low ceilings...this is to much (IMO).

Well not much at the moment, but hopefully it will grow. I have 2 blacktail racks on plaques. My 1st bull (a spike) is just about to go on my wall. The center piece of my wall though, and my most prized possession, my european mount of my dall sheep!

Shoulder mounts:
2= Antelope
1= Bear

At varying times:
Plaque mounts of 5 bulls, dozens of deer racks to choose from. I like the barn wood mounted antlers.

I should have mounted one or two of the deer!!!!!

Just 1 king, 50lbs. for me, would like to add a 20lbs steelhead and silver to the wall. I've shot a few nice deer but never had any interest in putting them on the wall, freezer is good enough for me.
