I think most of us are only interested in bow shot game mate, Thats why its called the bowhunters group. But leave them up there as long as we don't get flooded with rifle pics.
Some good trophys maca.
Adam
Well macka you certainly have a nice collection there. It makes me want to go out now for a hunt. Can't wait for the day that I bag my first goat, deer and pig. one day.
Hood 8)
Yeah sorry guys I was just going to get the bow shot ones but I only had the 4 sets of horns and the Rusa antlers to show so i thought IĂ*d throw the others in to make it look a bit better. And I saw it just said trophy room and I didnĂ*t think past that so I 4got about the bow bit lol :oops: I can take it down if people would like??
Macka :?

I was just going to get the bow shot ones but I only had the 4 sets of horns and the Rusa antlers to show
only he he haaaa, thats a top effort mate. Quality not quantity :wink:
Yeah thats the thing lacking quality only a 27" first goat, 28" 30" 32" but i am very proud of the Rusa :D Pitty he made me cull so many of them with the rifle last time what a waste :cry: T.C. goats are becoming very hard to come by.
Macka
There quality if there hard to come by mate.
One of my mates arrowed a 34inch goat in the hills back near home, it was a better trophy then a 40" billy from an out west spot I have hunted.
Ah yeah i see where your coming from adam. I would b very proud of a 34inch from one of my spots.
Macka :wink:

Does a pic of a frozen lump of meat count?
Wife won't let me mount it on the wall :(
had the same argument with my missus warlocke. But remember the house is half yours, which means the bedroom wall is half yours, it is then her choice above your side of the bed or in the lounge room. :lol:
I struck a deal with the wife. :D
I have one room in the house to put all my archery gear in (after many arguments on why I can not/will not store my bows out in the shed :shock: ) and trophies (heads or skins) on the walls. And she can do what ever she wants with the rest of the house.
I love my wife :P

Yeah the half mount Fallow is everyone's favourite!
Nigel Thomson really out did himself this time, only mistake he mad was it was meant to be facing the other side out, but it turned out for the best otherwise I wouldnĂ*t have had the room to place it right.
See ya Pete.
Well done mate, that last pic is tops.
Great assortment of critters :D :D
Great mounts there Pete.
:mrgreen: I get one room in the house and you get the whole house to put yours up....think I need to have another chat to the wife :x
This is my temp hunting room for now, Garage wall. I knocked the free standing table and wall up to save holes in the wall. Made it all from recycled materials.
The bow rack was made from a meat buck I shot last year.
mostly pictures really, no tthat I don't like mounted heads there just 5000kms away still :cry:

Very nice pete, he does a good job Nigel Thompson. I don't think there is any elk in this fella. By the size of his long head and broad snout he looks like he has a Yugoslavian blood mix there somewhere, maybe a bit of German or English. I spent a bit of time around this type of blood line and he looks just like the fella's we used to handle. Scott

I say you would be right, as if there more Elk in the bread the darker the face gets wile the body color lightens, still nice to think there might be.
The side with the funny crown formation, and the way the photo was taken make it look more Elk like.

Yeh mate he sure does look elkish.
Here are a few of my mounts at home.

if i was in that situation i wouldn't be able to even lift my dog up he's that heavy :lol: :lol:
but i would take my photo albums :lol: 8) and my bow :D
Finally got my first good trophy up on the wall to go with my fox skin and skull:

http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c180/Jpukallus/126_2625_1.jpg
the backing timber is some sawn and sanded mallee stump. Grain looks really good and contrasts well with the white skull and dark horns.
I have a school tech. teacher who used to be a jeweller making me up a brass plaque to screw onto it with his specs.

Puk
Good job Puk, looks great with the dark timber!
Nice one PUK
Thats a great way to show them off and a neat looking block of timber without doubt.
I havnt really hunted goats to much but I hope to one day and a belter like that fellow would look right at home in the trophy room.
Good work mate keep it up.
Simon
Not that you haven"t been invited Steely :D
I am going out in the morning with my daughter to get some goats and I just spoke to the prop owner and he said there are a few about.I will send you some pics Simon. :P
I love the way the horns look on natural timber like that a top idea.

Puk, have you lackered your horns or something like that :?:
SH :wink:
How much did it cost to get it stuffed Justin?
I think it was stuffed after he shot it with an arrow ;) :lol:
How much did the arrow cost mate? 8)
:twisted:
I meant how much it cost to get mounted. It got pretty stuffed when the bullet hit it i'm sure.
Saberhunter,
Since i posted those pics i have taken the horns and mallee stump and lacquered them with spray-on estapol. The horns came up really shiny and look a treat. I can't take another photo to show you because the brass plaque that i have on the mallee stump now has the place name where i took the goat, so it would give it away ( :lol: ) and i am also packing to leave tomorrow for QLD for 4 weeks and don't have time.
Definitely, if you are going to keep some horns, lacquer them up. It looks WAY better than normal.

Gday jpbon,
yeh i paid 450 for my mount, but that was for a mate of mine charging mates rates because my dad helped him out in the past doing a good insulation deal for his taxidermy room. He charges normally $550, which i think is an excellent price considering his work.
Wow that is a good price. Nice mount Justin!
Puk, haven't you heard of sticky tape? ;)
I repeat
i am also packing to leave tomorrow for QLD for 4 weeks and don't have time.

Awesome wall mate. Wish that was in my place. love the chital mounts. :wink:
Its not much but its my best hunting room todate and my favourite spot in the house. Put up a false wall in the garage one side dedicated to hunting the other for craft.
So here is the boys room for planning out hunting trips and drinking coffee.
The false wall, a few pictures to add to it and maybe a few sets of horns still.

Gee mate, those goat horns look abit to burried to me??, (and they call you goat boy)
The horns will be up before you get a chance to call in for a coffee and hunt mate. I cleaned the ones from the pilbara up before I headed off to work, there out the back drying.
Plenty of plaques to do up, all good fun though.
Ill make you proud yet :wink:
Who ever said Adam was obsessed was not kidding.......Oh thats right it was Adam that said that. :lol: :wink:
Nice room Adam and I do like your bow rack.
I'm in the process of doing up plans for council to build a nice Shed/boys room (half work shop half Throphy room) in the back yard.

HT, mate Kenny Riechals goat is hanging on the wall at Barry Stubbs archery shop in Tamworth. Well worth a look if ever you are passing through. Great display of the trophy rooms fella's. We certainly have some great bowhunters in this country that take real pride in the animals they have taken.
They're Adam's horns alright HT.. I've seen them in the flesh mate - not as big as Ken's but dang huuuuuge nonetheless :D Only 49 inches across though ;)
Not bad for his first bowshot kill ;)

Wait... did u say they were from his first bowkilled game animal???? They're frigin awesome. Any chance i could see a pic of the animal. Dam straight we got some great bowhunters in Aus.
Updated hunting room (to keep Warnie happy :) )
The new euro mount western Billy. Still needs a little work, like stainless engraved plate.

And a few horns on the little bit of wall left.

they wouldnt be Ken's as i see Ken's goat everytime im in tamworth picking something up from north west lol the mount sits proud above the counter in the shop and has done so for many years.
it is a huge goat worth seeing
there are bigger and better things in tamworth then the golden guitar lol
WOW, haven’t seen this thread before. Now I know where all the good deer and goats have gone!
Id hate to be in some of those rooms during an earth quake, it could get real ugly.:P
