Introduction
Every hunter’s trophy is unique—not just in the hunt itself but in the way it’s displayed. Choosing the right mount can elevate your space, showcase your trophy’s best features, and preserve the memory of the hunt. Whether you prefer a classic shoulder mount or a full-body display, here’s how to decide the best option for your trophy.
1. Shoulder Mounts – A Timeless Classic
- Best for deer, tahr, wild boar, and larger mammals
- Highlights the animal’s head, antlers, and expression
- Requires less wall space, making it perfect for home or lodge display
A shoulder mount is the most popular option because it captures the essence of the animal while maintaining a natural, lifelike look. This is a great choice if you want a bold centerpiece without taking up too much space.
2. Full-Body Mounts – A True Statement Piece
- Best for smaller species like tahr, chamois, and predators
- Showcases the animal in a dynamic, action pose
- Requires ample space but creates a stunning display
If you have room and want a lifelike recreation of the animal in motion, a full-body mount is the ultimate way to showcase your trophy. This option is popular for mountain game species, where stance and habitat add to the story of the hunt.
3. European Mounts – Minimalist & Elegant
- Best for hunters who prefer a clean, natural look
- Works well for deer, elk, boar, and skull trophies
- A cost-effective option that still honors the hunt
A European mount (skull mount) is a sleek, modern way to display your trophy without the full hide. It’s a great option if you like aesthetic simplicity or have multiple trophies to showcase together.
4. Custom Habitat Displays – Bring the Hunt to Life
- Best for hunters looking for something unique
- Includes scenic bases, rock formations, or natural elements
- Works well for full-body and shoulder mounts
Want something that truly tells the story of your hunt? Custom habitat displays incorporate natural scenery, creating a museum-quality showcase.
