Epic trophy room in progress

[2rocky]

I started looking through this IG page and realized it is my taxidermist's nephew.

Not sure where this trophy room is but it is pretty epic.

Polar bear into the U.S.?

I had Monarch Taxidermy mount my leopard. Stuart and his crew did an excellent job on it, and they have a great shop. They are specializing in doing entire Trophy Rooms.

There weren't any problems bringing Polar bears into the US prior to Obama.

The polar bear population has been stable for 3 decades. I wish they were importable again. I will never get the chance to hunt them but I'm sure conservation $ took a hit from US clients being blocked from importing.

Really?

I remember when Chuck Adams shot his polar bear, he was having trouble getting his bear into the US. I don't recall the exact year but in the late 90's. But it was prior to 2000 as I was sitting in my friends living room having that discussion with Chuck while he was having a couple other bears scored for P&Y. I don't know if he got his bear imported or not...haven't seen him since then.

North America and US aren’t quite synonyms

I might be a curmudgeon, but I don’t believe one person (or even family) less than 100 years old could shoot all that themselves. Displaying trophies someone else shot is pretty....meh..

Curmudgeon. Come to the RMBS banquet next year and you can see a trophy room far bigger than that which was filled primarily by 2 people, one of which is not yet 30 years old.

That’s cool, just not the type of people I relate to

You misspelled George W. Bush.

In May of 2008 Polar bears were declared threatened by the Bush Administrations US Fish & Wildlife Service,placing a ban on their importation.

If it's the guy's house/shop/showroom, it's less meh. Great advertisement for the quality of work. Kudos to them if they did in fact shoot 'em all. Cool rooms.

My first thought when I see that is that someone must have helicoptered into a Designated Wilderness.
My second is that conspicuous consuption, like everything else, is bigger in Texas.

My first thought is your girlfriend ran off with a Texan....my second is he brought her back.

You're right. She said she wanted to come home because in spite of what he had told her, things really aren't any bigger in Texas.

Ok, the Bush FWS declared the Polar bears threatened under the ESA, the Obama FWS declared the Polar bear habitat threatened due to the global warming hoax. In reality, the Canadian government sets the Polar bear harvest quotas and the US FWS meddling only prevents US hunters from bringing their Polar bear trophies home.

With enough time and money I wouldn't see any problem getting all of the critters in that picture in 10 years of quality guided hunts. Other than the bears and Marco Polo ram and although I have only had a fraction of all of the deer, antelope, and elk that I've shot mounted, I have that many animals in my Trophy room, and I'm still shy of 100 years old.

Kudos on all your achievements. Our interests differ, and that’s great.

I have infinitely more interest in seeing and hearing the stories of someone like @Oak ‘s mule deer than visiting with the owner of that room.

Man, if only I had that kind of money...
