I was out looking for items for the scavenger hunt, I was very lucky and got to meet a guy by the name of Clark Gullup. He let me take some pictures of some of the stuff he has hunted over the years. As far as I know most of the stuff was taken with a Bow. This was just his living room. He said he had more up stairs and in the basement, and about 50 more heads at another house. It was a lot of fun getting to talk to him about some of his art work, hunting, and even some photography. He is even into reptiles. He told me that in a few weeks they were getting a pit viper and a few cobras. Anyways here are the pictures for any of you bow hunters out there. There were a few world records in this room. Or they were world records at the time they were shot. Cant remember what ones.

To be completely honest that would freak me out! Nothing against a head or two on the wall, but that many would give me the ooks...
Cool pictures though!

I like that elk mount, looks like it's mid-bleat. Very nice work whoever did it, and like Bill said, tons of cash tied up in those!

That wasnt even all of them. He said he had the basement full and a few upstairs. Then another 50 or so at another house. He said he got his first one in 1950 He does have a website. I dont think it has been updated in a while. Think it said last update was in 2007 Im thinking of buying some of his Artwork. I also want to see if I can stop back by and talk with him about nature photography. He has been able to travel the world, doing what he loves, making a good living at it. There is a great story behind each of those hunts. Yeah I bet with the windows all open on a stormy night that place is a little freaky. With all the heads.

1950???? Holy Crap, I was born in 1950!!! Does he still hunt? That's almost enough to give an old bow hunter a woodie :lmao:. And ALL trophy heads! Okay, I'll shut up now :D. Man oh man!! And all that Native American stuff hangin' all over the place.

I didnt get to look at a lot of it, but from what I seen it was pretty good.

He is around 70 now, he said he doesnt hunt as much as he did, but he does still bow hunt. I guess hes some kind of Native expert too.
Cool stuff Shannon!
Thanks, it was a cool trip. A bit of a drive about an hour and a half or so. Was worth it.

Yeah, I was a bit worried, I have seen some deer hunting pictures posted on other forums and they got tore a new one. So wasnt sure.


Here is the link to his site. A bit outdated but contact info should be the same. http://www.clarkgallup.com/ If anyone would need to contact him, I can try and get a hold of him. I have to try and contact him,about selling some of his art at my girlfriends art gallery.

WOW! That is quite a room he has. Bet he'd be a great guy to just sit and talk to.
