RE: Anyone not "allowed" to hang a mount in the house?
 

My wife is cool about it, her dad was a hunter. I pretty much have the family room.I had the buck mounted so it looks right at her when she's sitting in her favorite spot. But she admitted she likes it.

RE: Anyone not "allowed" to hang a mount in the house?
 

Couldn't vote, nothing on the ballet for me. We both hunt and have mounts throughout our big two story.

RE: Anyone not "allowed" to hang a mount in the house?
 

My wife INFORMS me where she wants the various species mounts located, they are everywhere! I don't hunt for raccoons, but now she wants one mounted holding an ear of corn...

Gotta Love her:D

RE: Anyone not "allowed" to hang a mount in the house?
 

I can hang in certain rooms, I have mounts in my boys BR and down stairs family room. Not allowed in the LR - wife thinks its tacky. But considering she was anti-gun, anti-hunting when we got together ( 22 years ago) and now she likes to shoot and enjoys wild game and cooks it well We have come along way.:D

I can't figure the trick to upload. I was going to put a pic with my user id, but it kept saying the file was too big. When I finally got it small enough to work, it was smaller than a postage stamp? I'll never claim to be the sharpest broadhead in the quiver....

RE: Anyone not "allowed" to hang a mount in the house?
 

I have to shoot one big enough to mount first. Then we'll see

RE: Anyone not "allowed" to hang a mount in the house?
 

My wife recommended I get this past season's buck mounted when I wasn't planning on it, it's not like I don't have lot's of room for it in my big log home. I'll be mounting plenty more as I finish off the basement with a big log bar and more walls for more mounts.

That's a great looking room lifesadrag, here's a example of mine.

RE: Anyone not "allowed" to hang a mount in the house?
 

I don't have any mounts, but if I did I could hang them anywhere I wanted to.

RE: Anyone not "allowed" to hang a mount in the house?
 

lol
Interesting thread. My wife and I made the agreement when I built my house, I was finishing my first level to how I want it. She has the main level to decorate and I have my level. But it was made real clear no mounts out of my restricted level.

Which is fine anyway my level far exceeds anything she can put together. I wouldn't want them any where else.

Here is what i told my woman"DON'T OPEN YOUR DAMN EYES:D

RE: Anyone not "allowed" to hang a mount in the house?
 

My wife would not be too thrilled if I hung some mounts on the main level. She probably would not stop me but I think I would be pushing it.:DAs it is when I built my basement, I "informed her" that it would be decorated the way I wanted, and she could have the rest of the house. It's all about give and take, it actually works out better this way because when I did the basement I did it in a more rual decore with wood paneling instead of drywall. The mounts look much better on these walls anyway.

Here are some pics I took literally 5 min. ago. Yeah, I know my desk is a mess but it's a working mans office.:)

RE: Anyone not "allowed" to hang a mount in the house?
 

Here is a pic of the other room that's in the basement. It is bigger than my office and doubles as an area where the kids can play. I only took this one pic because the other parts of the room a covered with kids toys.:)I have plenty of wall space for additional mounts. I only wish I'd mounted some of the deer I killed (both with a bow and gun) from when I was younger, but I guess I was just stupid back then.

I did all of the work myself with the exception of the rough electrical and carpet. Yes I also decorated it all too.

RE: Anyone not "allowed" to hang a mount in the house?
 

:D:D:DScrew the deer but that corner of bottles looks real nice:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

RE: Anyone not "allowed" to hang a mount in the house?
 

Tribal,


Great pics! I think we both were thinking alike! I too would much rather have "my space" even if it is in the basement, At least I get to do what I want to do in it. No fighting this way.;)

Great looking rooms man.

RE: Anyone not "allowed" to hang a mount in the house?
 

Gotta have the bar! Didn't want to take up too much space so I opted for the "service bar" instead. Came out nice though.

Despite having the Tanqueray and Captain Morgan's I am very glad to see you at least got some Jack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!;): D

Tribal- I'm loving the built-in fish tank!

BigJ- I'll have a Maker's and Coke.:D

Everyone has some nice looking rooms. Keep em coming.

RE: Anyone not "allowed" to hang a mount in the house?
 

NICE ROOMS, guys.....!

Lisa says I can display my '06 mount anywhere I want for one month...lol. It really just doesn't fit in with the decor we have in our house.....and it's cheaper to not put up deer heads than it is to re-decorate a home.

Compromise.....she has given me the go-ahead to finish th ebasement or the 450sf building we have outside to be used and decorated at my discretion. Can't beat that.

BigJ....you're a guitar man????

RE: Anyone not "allowed" to hang a mount in the house?
 

My 1st mount should be done in June. I've been told that it needs to go in the basement. I'm still fighting for the main level of the house.

RE: Anyone not "allowed" to hang a mount in the house?
 

My wife has a place picked out for me to hang a deer head...she has ever since we got married LOL. time for me to step up I guess :(

RE: Anyone not "allowed" to hang a mount in the house?
 

my mom and dad don't care where i put mine. as long as it looks good.

RE: Anyone not "allowed" to hang a mount in the house?
 

When my wife and I decided to build our house we decided that I would have my own room to put all of my hunting stuff and mounts. It has worked out really well. I have a place to display all my mounts and on those early mornings when I'm stumbling around trying to get ready I don't disturb her or my 16month old boy. Here are a couple of pics of it.

RE: Anyone not "allowed" to hang a mount in the house?
 

My wife is cool, she loves Taxidermy... We added onto or home, a great room basically this past summer..and our large gable end walls have tons of space to add mounts over the years..I cant wait to fill them up...

RE: Anyone not "allowed" to hang a mount in the house?
 

You better believe it!!

You just can't beat the sound of a late 70's early 80's USA made Ovation guitar!

RE: Anyone not "allowed" to hang a mount in the house?
 

I can display it anywhere that there's room left. My darn g/f keeps taking all the good spots for her mounts!

RE: Anyone not "allowed" to hang a mount in the house?
 

Heres how living room looks:
[ul][*]Wall above computer: BIG 10 Shoulder mount[*]Wall above TV: 5 Euros Center dads 8, left of C. my 7, right of C dads other eight , left of 7 my barbado ram, right of other eight my first buck 8 which I have kept for 12 years[*]Wall above recliners: Two wood ducks, 2 Mallards, and 2 snow geese[/ul]
NOW tell m,e who runs the show. ALthough I wish I had a digital camera. By the way the reason my dads mounts are at my wife and I's house is because his house's roof is getting renovated, he loves to keep his mounts for safety since he wont be able to go home for another 5 months. My shoulder mounted Aoudad should be back in about 3 more weeks form taxi.

RE: Anyone not "allowed" to hang a mount in the house?
 

hummm? funny you should ask ., here a few years back i suprised my wife and put 3 deer head mounts in the living room., she came home from work and said what the h$% are you thinking ., so 2 of them came down and went downstairs., then came the bear head ,.she said downstairs., then came my 05 deer head mount.,she said that one stays upstairs , send the other downstairs.,gezzzz ., i cant win.,but at least she lets me have 1 deer mount and my fish mount in the main room.,

RE: Anyone not "allowed" to hang a mount in the house?
 

I figured that.

Oh yeah...I'mstuck inthe basement as well.

RE: Anyone not "allowed" to hang a mount in the house?
 

I am allowed to put my mounts anywhere.

I must ask this question?You leftout a line on your poll, that my wife thinks is important.

5)You can hang mounts anywhere, but your wife still has more mounts than you.

RE: Anyone not "allowed" to hang a mount in the house?
 

Not to sound chauvanistic but I'm paying for the house so it goes anywhere I want, and my wife's cool with that, I chose carefully when I picked a wife. Having said that I want them in my office which is above our bedroom. I wanted an english trophy room style office to display my swords and mounts but now I'm waverying between that style and something more like tribals room. Since I don't have the money to do either yet it's just plain unpainted plaster walls. I have three of my buddies mounts in there too while he builds his house. He has a great room with a gable wall that he will be mounting his deer on. His wife hunts and loves mounts. She sent him to Idaho this year to get an elk to mount to put on that big gable wall (he didn't get one). If I ever get an elk I'm not sure where I'll put that, won't fit in office most likely. If I ever get too many for my office I'll move them into the room just outside it.

RE: Anyone not "allowed" to hang a mount in the house?
 

The basement is it but that is okay because all my hunting gear is down there. Hope to finish it off soon.

RE: Anyone not "allowed" to hang a mount in the house?
 

my shoulder 8 point is stuck on the front door.:D

actually mom dont really like mounts so im stuck with my room, which is where i would put them regardless so it all works out.

alls i got is a shoulder whitetail, turkey fan, 2 hornets nests (these look awesome around mounts, i have one hanging in between my 8 points rack.), wood duck coming in july, and two deer horns on plaques.

RE: Anyone not "allowed" to hang a mount in the house?
 

I will have to say I have the greatest wife in the world! She knows that I like to hunt / fish so she decided to "theme" the house in a log cabin / outdoors theme. This way I can hang the mounts and stuff I have and she can decorate with some of the things she likes to...(she thinks moose are soooo cute).
