Gotcha. Try to keep it tight as one focus area and not try to fill up the whole wall. IMO The linear look is cool but trianglar shaped are always pleasing to the eye. Also think of using just one or two mounts on that wall with other stuff and the other mount on another wall. I like working a euro mount in with some pictures to add a three dimetional piece to the wall and interest to the pictures. I'd could come over there and set up the whole wall with stuff you have already and your wife would love it but I never get an invite I'm a display artist by trade so this is what I do for a living. I set up my friends house and when they go to repaint the walls years later the wives make them mark the exact spot on walls how so it goes back up exactly the same. I tell them to forget it. Ill come back and do something different.
Agreed... That's a really nice deer but that is a large lonely wall that dwarfs your trophy. Maybe a Musky or a couple ducks or something to make it more noticeable.
