hunting trophy

Wall-mounted animal remains

A hunting trophy is a preserved part of a killed animal—typically the head, antlers, horns, or hide—displayed as a memento of the hunt.

Hunters mount trophies on walls or in display cases: The lodge was decorated with hunting trophies from three continents.

Trophy hunting specifically pursues impressive specimens for display rather than meat.
