Fur Displays

I know this topic has been brought up on here multiple times but I would love to see how people display their pelts.
After years of building up brownie points, the wife has finally given me the ok to hang fur in our bedroom. So, now how to display the pelts? I have access to slabs of old log cabin logs, diamond willow, birch, deer and moose antlers, etc.
Thank you!

Gosh, I just hang mine by the nose.

X2 Put a push pin into a wall & park a nose on it, easy peasy.

Right, I know a nail in the wall is the simplest option. I guess what I was looking for would be other ideas that guys have. For example, I've seen people screw antler tines to barn wood and hang furs, use milled or half logs and hung pelts from them, or even used free standing coat racks made of various materials to hang pelts from. Just looking for ideas.

I drape beaver pelts over the furniture, and hang on the wall by the nose. If I had a good sewing machine, I'd wear some as hats.

I like that, Les. Thanks. We need to get a line of beaver clothes and accessories fashion trend going here in LOTW County!

I’ve got some hanging from nails and a few hanging off elk antlers that are stacked on top of gun safes.

I'm surprised that more images haven't been posted. Some of the trappers on here probably have some real "WOW" ways to display their catches. Anyway, thought you may enjoy this one...

That's awesome, Gulo. Great idea and beautiful pelts. That ol' skunk bear is sweet!

I have a few pelts that I am planning on hanging with a couple old traps that I have. Not exactly sure how i am going to do it yet, will be watching this thread for ideas.

I've seen some guys weld a double spring or coil spring in the set position, hang it on the wall and hang furs off of that- it looked cool. I'm thinking of that idea currently.

Top Lot Stretcher Co has actual fur displaying boards that they sell, here ill attach a link.

They are made of hardwood oak and seem really well made to me! I guess you could also make your own if you want.

P.S. If the link isn't working just copy the text in the parentheses and paste it into a search bar, then it should pop up.

I have a pair of snow shoes about like them. I'd have to take the fur down all the time to use them, lol. Very nice though.I am looking around, very slowly, for a good fur sewing machine. I am ambition challenged though.

Some really great ideas here! Thanks to all of those who have posted!!

Why is it that fox tails always twist like that when tanned?
BTW. Nice display.

Someone said about hanging them on a coat rack, I’ve been thinking about getting rid of this one but kept it now it’s in my mancave

I like that look grayfox54. Nice pelts. I was thinking of something similar to that but using peeled and chewed beaver sticks/logs as the post and feet and then antler tines for the hooks.

That would be neat!

At my camp

is that all the furbearers in pa? I like that set up I'm working on mine now have everything tanned an hanging but the cat fisher an otter I'm young yet so I'll get it filled eventually

Big brownie that looks awesome!

I like yours also Miley!

There’s an otter in there somewhere that I didn’t catch. I wanted every Pa. furbearer in this bundle, and I didn’t think I’d be making the trip to eastern side of the state to catch one.

I love all the displays..

My wife says I can’t have too much fur in the house.

heres what I have done with a few

I’m working on putting one of every fur bearer on the wall in my moms sewing room. Hal’s way, hung by the nose except for my first wolf which is draped over the arm chair.

This is how I display some. Others draped on chairs and a couch or on end tables.

Simple display. First white fox in my life, first fox (silver) with my nephew, a bushy red that the picture doesn’t quite do justice to and the first dark Marten in my life.

Lots of neat ideas here. Might use a few of them myself! Thanks to the op for bringing it up!

Not really a display,more of an inventory.

I prefer my fur to be displayed by attractive young women throughout the world

Beautiful furs and great displays, never gets old. Lots of creative ideas and walls full of memories.

Mine are temporary hung up, trying to figure out a nice way to display them? I do like the snowshoe display, the coat rack idea too...

wife says the tannin bill goin up has been worse than the fur market goin down.

My what great idea's for displaying fur. My wife said the 415# Bear mount was all that can go in her sewing room, so I'm cleaning up my hunting room to hang some tanned fur, & make room for my Fisher mount, late this year.

My first wolf. Shot it in the eye with a 243 blr. It usually draped over the back of the chair as more of a headrest. My mom still can’t bring herself to cut it up.

Great visuals - What about a "rack" or clothing type presentation for display? I have some ideas.

Some traps,mounts and fur.

Rick,

What a great looking pronghorn... Looks to be a 16-17". Am I close?
