Alot of knotty pine stained natural would be cool for the bottom 3rd of the walls. Cork board flooring looks good and you could put in round coulmns to cover your post and paint them up like tree trunks.
Nice!

Have an outdoors artist come in and do a wall mural of an outdorrs setting. My buddys "man room" has a 4 foot by 16 foot mural of a swamp/river outlet up in Maine. Its awesome and it really sets the room off/ is a great conversation piece. The frame for the piece is a 4 inch birch tree cut in half which goes around the whole mural. Again...its really awesome. He also has all of his mounts in that room (obviously) and a bar (obviously) and a big TV (obvuiously). Another really cool touch...He made the door into the room into a saloon style double door which swings in and out. Another option would be to take a picture of somewhere you love in the outdoors and have the picture made into a wall mural that you can put up like wall paper. There are a number of websites that will do that for you for a price. Hope this helps.

I'd give you my suggestions Jeff but then it'd look like mine and I'm keeping that to myself..

I am thinking alot of high definition at about 70" and surround sound.
I'm with Todd... of course that advice would have to come with a personal invite and a nice big bowl of Rotel cheese dip with whatever movie we'd be watching!

In all serious, it's not that far off from what MOHO said. I'm doing a chair rail so to speak with some sort of wood and topping it with a shelf all the way around for nicknacks and hunting stuff. Dry wall the top of the wall in some sort of warm color to contrast all the prints and mounts.

The floor, undecided but around the bar you saw when your here, some sort of laminant that wears well for the doors and then either carrying that throughout or a nice burbour for warmth.

The ceiling, unsure but a drop of some sort. I saw a guys cabin that had wood paneling in the ceiling tiles, it looked good but was dark.

Murals are cool! Your baseball wall could be painted likea snapshot from home plate, at the park you played. The golf wall could have something like the 17th hole at sawgrass, with a deer on the green!! I've always been a cedar man when it comes to T&G, but knotty pine is nice too! I've always liked doing a wainscoting to the same hieght as the bar, then covering the beams and posts with the same material! Maybe even do your entire TV wall in a herringbone pattern! I would put tile on the floor around the bar area, and carpet through the rest of the room!

I could go on all night, as I've been in the re-modeling field, for almost 20 years!
