All my hunting stuff, man toys, gun safe, etc. are kept there She has no input in the decor or accoutriments therein, which works out well. I even paneled over the windows and she never flinched.

thats what i was waitin to see.. thanks again pat for lettin me come over and look at your place and hear some stories... the pictures are incredible but seeing it first hand is something truly spectacular.

the first time i heard dr2 mention p.p... well i heard him mention p.p.'s name quite a few times. but anyway i was like who in fauck is p.p. and what makes him so special..

yes.. i'd like my crow served medium rare with a side of freshty strained turd souflay..

thats plum amazing..

hey pat in the second picture you posted.. in the upper right hand corner. theres a black bird with a long neck.. got some kinda red thing attached to its dome as well..

what kinda bird is that.. i guessing you didn't shoot that in a buck brush slough in east ms

Black-necked Swan

PAT, go on and show em the rest.......

i still read through that fuge post weekly.

it's dang near sad for me to think about some of the species pat got to legally take that i'll never get to such as stellar's and spectacled eiders, emperor geese, just to name a few.

always fun to look at your work......gator

i thought it was a swan.. i just thought most of the swans shot were the big white'uns..

shot it near palimco sound? n.c.? i'm guessing..

i think anatidate use to talk about a black swan that would visit his spread over on un-named location...

Tundras are from North America.






Black-necks are from South America.



Black Swans are from New Zealand

hawd damn son....

dat black swan from down under... dat sombiatch is no doubt got some terafockindactel in him .... i'm guessing that thing can pick 3" #2's outta the air and spit them back at ya.....

that black neck swan is a unique lookin bird as well..


thummmpppp... i bet dem birds make a hell of a noise when the hit the earth....

Actually it's not what you shoot them with, but where you shoot them. All the Black Swans we shot in New Zealand were killed with 6's and 7 1/2's. Ther long neck and head is very vunerable. We shot a very high average on them as well.

Boys you really cant get the feel of Pats "Man Room" till you see it in person..........its a waterfowlers dream........the pictures are as good as the mounts.

Swear, I could look at Pats pics for days....

Prediction: the global warming thread will finally be knocked from its artificially-inflated perch of longest running thread when this one runs its course.

The bird diversity represented in 700+ mounts, not just representative species, but hybrids and various and assorted mutations is in and of itself and incredible achievement, but the full collection consisting of photographs, calls, shotgun shells, pins, clothes, decoys (including a pair of extremely rare, incredibly valuable, Double R Decoy cork mallards ), magazines, bands, collars, boats, signs, paddles, prints, the habitat elements such as seashells and glass bouys, even the wood used for many of the frames - not to mention the people, the times and the stories that it all represents - puts everything in its fullest, and finest context. I've been in there maybe a hundred times over the past decade and notice something new everytime single time. If you've ever walked through the Smithsonian Science Museum and tried to see everything, you know exactly what I mean.

when i look at them new zeland swans all i can think of is john holmes penis swingin near his knees..

is that a pradise duck on the end.

can a dog even work with those birds?


dammit boys.. who was it earlier in this thread that said.. man room = may i have my nutz back.. in the case of p.p. those nutz would be awful damn heavy.. heavy nutz.. btw.. i think that make a great boat name.. heavy nutz...

I first saw "The Waterfowlers" room on the fuge, and as the post took off I kept an eager eye on that topic.

It was several years back, when I first saw the pic's, and it's a goal of mine to at least walk through the place. Unbelievable, I couldn't even dream of the hunts, stories, and memories with each mount/pic, but one day I hope to get up there and hear a tale or two.

Keep on posting those pics for all of us to drool over LOL, great work!

I'm humbled by all the interest in this and guess I take what I have a little too much for granted. I appreciate the comments and by no means am bragging about anything. I've been blessed with friends, opportunities and the passion that I've maintained to this day for not just the hunt but for the memories and friends past and present. I got started in the days of no internet and thing were much close knit then but cyberspace has opened a whole new avenue for us now. The only waqy to make friend is to meet new people and I welcome a visit most anytime, except during turkey and duck season when I'm in the woods or at the LLDC.

Let me know any interests you might have and I'll see what I can come up with.

"Dat's the shootenist gent'man I ever seen!!"

I got an interest...to take about ten thousand pics in that room and hear most, if not all of the stories that go with what's in that room.


Got about two- four years of your time to spare?

I see a book in the making


Always love the "man house" pics that you post up Missa' Pat
