Trophy Lodge

Taxidermy

When you harvest an animal, you can choose to perform a taxidermy on it. This animal can then be selected to be added to any of your lodges. If you miss to taxidermize the animal during a hunt, find it in your hunt history and do it from there. The taxidermy button remains there for another 24 hours for each animal.

Trophy Lodge

Call upon the services of Max the Taxidermist to taxidermize your harvested animals that you can then showcase them in your very own trophy lodge. You can enjoy your trophies in single player mode or invite your friends into a multiplayer game to share your finest harvests.

Note: The trophy lodge is the only way to display your taxidermized animals.

Characteristics

Each trophy lodge allows you to showcase animals of different sizes.
Players can own an unlimited number of lodges.
Lodges are accessible from any in-game lodge that has a trophy lodge sign outside or in your player's profile.

Lodge Management on the Website

In your theHunter profile, go to Settings - Game Management.

Animals with a house symbol are already used somewhere in this or another lodge.

Lodge Management in the Game

Walk up to the lodge and when prompted, press the E (default) key. You can access any of your trophy lodges from any lodge in any reserve.

Adding Animals

Animals can be taxidermized at the point of harvest, or afterwards from the hunt summary for a period of up to 24 hours from the time of harvest. Once Max the Taxidermist preps your trophy (whic is immediate) it will appear in your trophy manager. You can access the trophy manager from inside your lodge by pressing the I (default) key.

Selecting Positions

When you stand in front of an animal inside the lodge, use the right mouse button to enter the edit mode. Use the left mouse button to cycle though the different poses. Use Right again to save the pose.

Animals on small round, medium round and large square platforms can be rotated with help of PgUp / PgDn keys (default). Like the rest of Trophy lodge editing, this can only be executed in a single player mode.

Skull Mounts

You can get Skull Mounts to decorate your lodge. All skull mounts come with 3 decoration styles:

Bleached
Natural
Decorated (each species has its one unique style)

Species

Skull Mounts are available for these species.

Usage

When you opt to tax an animal, you have the option to mount the skull instead, if the species has a Skull Mount. In the Lodge, you can pick the skin that you would like your skull to have, just like you adjust a taxed animal.
