hunting trophies
Wall-hung animal remains
Hunting trophies are animal parts—heads, antlers, horns, hides, or taxidermied mounts—kept to commemorate a kill.
They serve as proof of the hunter's skill and as decorative display: The lodge walls were lined with hunting trophies.
Trophy hunting targets animals specifically for such keepsakes rather than for meat.
The practice draws criticism from conservationists, though proponents argue regulated hunts fund wildlife preservation.
