Best Hunting Trophy Mounts Buying Guide

Before choosing the best hunting trophy mount you should consider following options:

1. Size and Weight: This is a crucial factor that you should consider. The heavier your mount is, the sturdier it will be, which is one of the benefits of having a heavy mount.

However, that doesn’t mean that if you want a lighter mount, you should avoid heavy mounts. You can always choose a heavy mount and have it reinforced with steel bars and rods.

The size of your mount also matters because you want to have your mount placed in an area where people can easily view it. Note that the smaller the size, the easier it will be to display the mount.

2. The pose: This refers to the position of the animal that you shoot. A good pose could be when the animal is standing, lying down, or jumping.

It can also depend on the environment you shot the animal in. For example, if you shot the animal on a plain, you can have it in a standing pose.

On the other hand, if you shot the animal in a swamp, you can have it in a lying down pose.

3. Location of Harvest: Hunting trophies should be displayed in an area where they can be viewed easily. For example, you don’t want to have your mount in an area where people can’t reach it.

This means that if you want to have your mount in a room where no one can view it, then you should avoid having a small mount.

You can also have your mount in an area where it will be exposed to sunlight or not. The choice is entirely up to you.

4. Quality and Detail: Quality and detail are two important factors that should be considered when it comes to hunting trophies. The details of your mount can depend on the pose you have chosen.

The pose you have chosen will determine the amount of detail that your mount will have. For example, a standing pose will have more detail than a lying down pose.

If you choose to have a portrait pose, then there won’t be much detail on the animal. Generally, the more details that your mount has, the more expensive it will be.

5. Cost: The cost of your mount will depend on a variety of factors. The size, pose, and amount of detail that your mount will have are some of the factors that will determine the cost.

Other factors that will affect the cost of your mount include the quality of the materials you choose, location of harvest, and the taxidermist of your choice.

You need to make sure that you choose a taxidermist that will be able to deliver the type of mount that you want at an affordable price.

Generally, the cost of your mount will be higher if the pose that it has is detailed.


What else you should know about hunting trophy mounts

1. What is the process of mounting a trophy?

To mount a trophy, first find a level surface on which to work. Next, using a tape measure, find the center of the surface and mark it with a pencil. Next, using a hammer and nail, make a small starter hole at the center mark. Next, using a screwdriver, screw in a large screw at the starter hole. Finally, using a wire hanger, make a hook at the end of the screw. Your trophy is now mounted!

There are a few things you can do to help ensure your mount lasts a long time:

1. Keep it clean – clean your mount regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grime.

2. Keep it dry – avoid getting your mount wet as much as possible. If it does get wet, dry it off as soon as possible to prevent water damage.

3. Store it properly – when you’re not using your mount, store it in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.

4. What are some creative ideas for displaying my trophy?

Some creative ideas for displaying a trophy include propping it up on a bookshelf, displaying it on a mantelpiece, or setting it on a coffee table.

5. What are the most common mistakes made when mounting a trophy?
