My Slice of Paradise
 
Here are some pics of my "haven" it's my office in my basement. I work out of my house so I built a game room/office in my basement. I figured if I have to spend alot of hours working, I might as well be in a place that I like. I hope you enjoy.

Real nice. Love to have a place like that and one for my 1800 old radios. I have my car stuffed like that full of goodies.I have just enough room to lay down the drivers seat to sleep on summer nights.Beats the sofa or wheelchair

Very nice, only problem I see is there is a bunch of guns around but no bows and arrows? :D[&:]:eek:

Just seems strange beings this is the bowhunting forum.

I hope the gun cabinet isn't to close to the bar to hurt yourself someday? :D

Thanks all.

It does help me relax while working that's for sure.

If it makes you feel beter I will post a picture of my bow too. I'm a hunter first, that means I use many different weapons. BTW the 10pt was taken with my bow as well as the 8pt on the wall by the bar (just the antlers) the rest with firearms

What?

Nice, I see you have Il. Deer harvest pin's on the 2 bucks around the gun cabenit.

i would love to have an office like that. i don't know that i would work too much though. to much stuff to play with. lol.

Should add some magzines, a dartboard and if there is a computer in there (assuming there is) you should get a screen saver of a buck or some sort of game animal :)

Nice Room but I have a question. Is that the big mouth talking bass on the wall over the cabinet?

Looks great. You don't have to worry about rain days.

throwingStarr 05-07-2005 08:48 PM

RE: My Slice of Paradise
 
Surely you must have a solid overhead "hang" in there somewhere??

Blodg, this is for you.....happy now?

Red Hawk, this is for you.

Narcoboy,

Yep, thats a billy big mouth bass:D The kids love him.

Silbowhunter,

They all are Illinois whitetails, All of the ones mounted were taken down in southern Illinois in the Shawnee Nat'l. Forest. My father-in-law owns some land down there. I put pins on all of the mounts to remember the year they were taken. I just tie a string around the base of the antler and hang the pin.

Throwingstar, I get it now....No, no hangs, don't think the wife would care for that too much:D

Thanks again to all. It's much easier to work when I'm in there because I can remind myself that there is more to life than work. I spend alot of hours in there so I might as well enjoy it.

Hey man you didn't have to go out of your way to take that pic for me. But yes I do feel better now, LOL (joking).

I am a hunter first as well but I happen to own 4 bows and no guns. But I don't have a nice office like yours to display them in though, very nice and you should be proud.

Red Hawk 05-08-2005 02:16 PM

RE: My Slice of Paradise
 
lol ok i didn't noticed the mags. before. Okay now be sure to add that dartboard :)

Thanks for the kind words, I was actually thinking of hanging my bows, but I have yet to find a cool way to do it. When I do you can bet I will take a photo for you all.

Believe it or not, it was all me. Don't tell anyone because I have this big tough ex NFL O-lineman persona to uphold.;)

My cubical is no where near as nice as your office. :(

Now you just need to add a 20yard range:D

Looks good. I had to build a whole new building, I call it my vestige of manhood. ;) I think every man needs one.

Nice office. I had a home office once. Then my mother-in-law moved in.:(

RE: My Slice of Paradise
 
Thanks to all.

I have some more pics. Close up shots of the fox, pheasant and I think some deer. I will check to see if they are still on my computer and I will post them too.
