If you’ve spent time in trophy rooms or on hunting social feeds lately, you’ve seen it: classic pack frame mounts that turn a skull, cape, or antlers into a backcountry story piece. Hunters love them because they feel authentic—like you just walked in from a high-country pack out—and they give your trophy room instant variety compared to a wall of identical shoulder mounts. That’s exactly why our Whitetail Woodcrafters Pack Mount Frame is taking off with deer, elk, and bear hunters searching for a taxidermy pack mount solution they can truly customize.
At Whitetail Woodcrafters, our Pack Mount Frame is intentionally designed to be simple, sturdy, and versatile. That “blank canvas” approach matters: it lets you and your taxidermist tell your hunt’s story—your way. Add a vintage canteen from your granddad, the knife you used on the ridge, a folded bedroll, rope coil, or your tag and license sleeve. When you accessorize the frame with meaningful gear, the mount becomes more than a display; it becomes a narrative you’ll share with every guest who stops to look. If you’re building a pack frame euro mount (or “euro mount pack frame”), this foundation makes layout fast and field-authentic.
Authentic field aesthetic. Pack frames suggest the pack-out moment every hunter knows—hard work, satisfaction, and stewardship. They create texture and depth on the wall in a way a flat plaque can’t.
A great alternative to a standard shoulder mount. A shoulder mount is timeless, but a pack frame mount introduces different silhouettes, natural materials (wood, rope, canvas), and layered details (straps, bedrolls, tools). That variety breaks up a trophy room and draws the eye.
Budget and space flexibility. Depending on how you build it— head mount with cape, euro skull, skull cap, or partial/cape—a deer pack mount or elk pack mount can fit tighter wall sections and may come in at a lower price point than a full shoulder mount, without sacrificing wow factor.
Infinitely customizable. Axes, rope coils, canteens, canvas wraps, leather lashings—pack mount accessories let you match the mount to the terrain or species. Our small size works beautifully for whitetails, small bear and pronghorn; large size frames suit elk, mule deer, bear, or if you just want a bigger platform to accessorize.
Our Pack Mount Frame ships as a clean, high-quality foundation. That simplicity isn’t cutting corners; it’s deliberate. You (and your taxidermist) get a stable, handsome frame and the freedom to compose the scene:
Add personal gear. Knife sheath, tags, license pouch, a small coil of paracord, or the game call from your hunt.
Choose material accents. A rolled wool blanket, leather lashings, or canvas straps for a vintage alpine vibe.
Get Creative. A pack frame taxidermy mount offers you the chance to personalize your mount and even change out accessories over time.
Make it yours. Whether you call it a backpack mount taxidermy setup or a traditional packboard mount, the result is a one-of-a-kind display.
However you like to work, we’ll meet you there:
Ship to you. We’ll send the Pack Mount Frame to your doorstep, ready for you and your taxidermist to accessorize.
Work directly with your taxidermist. Prefer us to coordinate? We can ship straight to your taxidermist and help line up the supplies needed—straps, accessories, or hardware—so your mount comes together smoothly with fewer back-and-forths.
Choose your core mount style. Head mount with cape, euro skull, skull cap, or partial/cape presentation.
Decide the story. Was it a grueling backcountry hike, a first buck with your dad, or a snowy late-season elk? Pick pack mount ideas and accessories that mean something.
Lay out balance and angles. Ask your taxidermist to stage items so the skull/antlers remain the focal point.
Finish to match your room. Add accessories with color schemes that bring the details of your trophy room together in an intentional way.
Future-proof the display. The modular design means you can swap or add pack mount accessories over time as your story—and your trophy room—evolves.
Order the Pack Mount Frame and decide whether you want it shipped to you or directly to your taxidermist. Keep the setup minimal for a clean, modern look—or layer on the knife, license, rope, canteen, or bedroll that made your hunt unforgettable. Either way, you’ll end up with a trophy that doesn’t just hang on the wall—it tells your story.
A pack frame mount (sometimes called a packboard mount or backpack mount taxidermy) displays your head mount with cape, euro skull or cape only on a frame styled like a backcountry pack, creating a realistic “pack-out” look that adds variety to a trophy room.
Yes—our frame is ideal for a pack frame euro mount (aka euro mount pack frame). You or your taxidermist can position the skull and secure it while leaving room for accessories.
All of the above. Hunters frequently build deer pack mounts and elk pack mounts on this frame; it also works for mule deer, pronghorn, bear and many other game species.
Common pack mount accessories include a knife/sheath, license/tag, canteen, rope coil, or a small bedroll. The intentionally simple frame makes it easy for your taxidermist to stage meaningful gear.
A pack frame mount uses a variety of materials (wood, rope, canvas) and a slimmer profile to create a different focal point than a shoulder mount—great for adding texture and visual interest across a wall.
Either. We can ship the Pack Mount Frame to your address or coordinate directly with your taxidermist to have supplies ready for your mount.
Typical taxidermy hardware works. Your taxidermist will choose fasteners and hangers based on skull/cape weight and accessory placement to keep the composition secure.
Yes. Many customers start minimal and add or swap accessories over time, keeping the story of the hunt front and center.
