In your Man room ?
I know Lindsay lohan is probably the prefered answer, What animal mount would you like in your Man room ? I would like a life sized Musk Ox some day.

Standing Grizzly bear for me.
Ditto on the ox...shoulder mount would be fine. Marco Polo, Bighorn, Chamois, Tahr...can I keep going?

Way over-rated.
Bighorn and Lion mounts are the two that come to mind for me.........

I'll have to 3rd IB. Standing grizzly would be awesome. Hope to have the moose this fall.

Well the grizzly is hopefully coming this year He will not be standing, he will be on all fours standing over a bou (that is IF I get one !!) 26 days until lift off!! I am dying to shoot 200 class muley or a nice nontypical 180ish would be just fine with me.

Bighorn, moose, and lion. Got an AK brown bear last fall, but when I measured the room, it became obvious that I didn't have room for a body mount, so it will be a rug mount.
Now I am trying to figure out where I am going to put a rug of that size. Told the wife we need a new comforter for the bed. She threatened to buy me my own bed, so I changed my mind on that one.
Really would like a bighorn. Actually, I think "Need" is a better term than "like."

I think a tiger rug would be cool but I don't think they're legal to shoot anymore.

Life size mount of a 180+" bighorn ram from the middle fork SR in ID would be just what I need.

All of them... Don't have any place to hang them so the racks just sit in a pile in the basement.

Dall Sheep for me

I'd like a full body mount of a big cat. Then put him on the plant shelf looking over the dining room table in a ready to pounce pose. Should cut down on me having to suffer through dinner parties with my wifes liberal co-workers at RML.

Lots of things, but most importantly is a mule deer, over 27 inches wide preferably....

Well being young and needing a lot of things I just want a 380 class bull elk, 190 plus mule deer, going to get my antelope this year. I want a bou as well, and at some point in my life Dall sheep.

a much bigger shiras moose over my fireplace, a nice new pretty studly pronghorn, a giant bull elk with a shorthair cape, maybe a couple gigantic mule deer..

Crap, come to think of it, I want one of those cows too- compete with bell around neck and framed SCI trophy sheet to hang next to it.
Ultrahunter
07-31-2007, 04:57 PM
I would also like an Idaho Wolf
if you get the right cow you can get the 4H Grand Champion Ribbon to go next to the SCI trophy sheet

Here is one that buddy of mine got that I would like to have also...

If you do get one, and you want a mount, make sure you cut along the backbone when you are caping it so that your taxidermist can do a good body mount, especially if it is going to be standing.

See my response to the "Most Exotic critter on your list" thread. :)
Seriously I don't have many mounts. I have a muley and a couple sheep and an antelope but I'd like more muleys. A whole bunch of them. And a lion. And of course more sheep.

Ive shot several, but never mounted a pronghorn yet .... need one.
Cougars are awesome mounts .... need one.
Always said I'd do a full mount whitetail if I kill something 160 or better ... need one.
Full mount wolves look awesome ...... need one.
Would love to have a buffalo head ..... need one.
A big northern pike looks cool ...... need one.
Hope to put a BIG muley on the wall this fall ..... need one.
Got a 5x6 elk to pick up at the taxidermist any day. He called yesterday and said it's done.

Still waiting on the Grizz although did get the moose, caribou, black bear, and wolf all on the same hunt. Guess it gives me another reason to go back up to Alaska this time it will not be for as long.

I have thought long and hard about this one and for me it will have to be a jackalope, they are just so rare any hard to get drawn for!;)

30" 4x4 muley, 65" wide palmed, 6 brow tine per side bull moose and a 10 foot brown bear with a 30" noggin.

I see this is a old topic, but as a newby here, I thought I'd post this pic in response to Moosie's wish. I shot him on a hunt in 2004 in Canada's NW Territories. I was originally going to do a shoulder mount but a taxidermist in camp (who didn't do the mount) talked me into a full mount. I'm really glad he did.

As to the taxidermy that I'm lacking, I'd like the 20 animals of mine from Africa and Montana that my taxidermist has had for up to 4 years.:(

African Kudu and Oryx for me.

Very nice Ox! A taxi in Twin Falls, ID was working on one of those when I took my Sitka BT in and I have to say they are WAY cool.

Megan Fox, probably a rug mount. John:hump:
I have always wanted the Az Big Ten. Now that I have a Desert Bighorn Sheep tag in my pocket. It is getting closer to being obtainable. If all goes well this Dec. than I am going to either have rugs or mounts done of each.
If the Rams goes down, than I am down to a lion and a buffalo. I think if I get into the population management pool for buffalo, that will happen in the next couple of years. I have glassed up 3 lions in the last 3 years and have the hair off the back of one stuck in a 7MM Rem. case. Next time it will be a rug for the wall, Take Care, JLG.

I'm w/brymoore...I'd like a nice tiger rug if that were possible....or about anything else mentioned...lol.
I've got some 'very nice' WT but sheep are my alltime want so any/all of them would be my biggies.
lindsey would be a great mount :hump:...just to remind her what a cock (pheasant) is really like...:D

The ones on the top of my list are a full body mountain goat, shoulder mounted dall sheep and a full body bear, either black of grizzly.
Already have a nice mule deer and whitetail shoulder mount, and a bear rug done with another being worked on.
Others that I'd really like are a good antelope shoulder mount, 320+ elk skull, bigger muley with a late season cape and a full body lion done by Soucy.

I'm with draftstud, give me megan in any mount....
seriously, the best mount I ever seen was one my wife did years ago. it was a blackie just casually walking through the woods.
I still think about that one and one of these years, its gonna be done.

His wife is a taxidermist. I'm assuming he's talking about a mount she did for someone else.

I kind of assumned that, but it was still confusing. :o How about those Broncos Oak?? I called it! :D
I'm missing a New Mexico muley from my man room!
The defense has only given up 26 points in 4 games, but the offense better not continue to rely on them. They're going to be playing some very good offensive teams soon. I'd like to see Orton miss fewer wide open receivers in the future. :rolleyes:

10-06-2009, 07:20 PM
Yeah shes a taxidermist as Oak said. Everytime I get a bear, I want to do that mount but I just dont have floor space. So I have them rugged. It sucks having a small house. My gunsmith has a couple of my bears in his shop cuz of no room here. If I'm lucky next month, hes gonna get another.
I'm doing a blacktail hunt (and hopefully a bear) next month and she already said I need to get atleast 2 bucks and a doe. I'm trying not to be perverted but I have no idea what she has planned.
