My "Man Cave"
Finally, the wife and I have an empty nest, the last of our three sons has move out to start a family of his own. So I have taken over the bedroom that we had built in our basement a long time ago. I remove the closet to make it in to a room of 11x13 large enough for a small den. I now have a place to display and enjoy the things that I like to do. The buck was taken with a bow, and the two bear were both taken with a flintlock musket.The turkey tail fan & beard from my first bird, taken such a long time ago. They now have a place to be in which I can sit and remember the hunts from the past and dream of the ones yet to come.
