You don't have to, but if you want to display one of every species in the game then yes, you will need 2 lodges. As far as pricing goes, nothing final has been confirmed yet.

So, say you have more than one trophy lodge. Will you have access to each lodge at every location on each reserve?

Alena said that you can access every trophy lodge from every in-game lodge.

Wondering if these lodges will come with a couple free mounts, or do we have to purchase them from the word go?

It looked like you actually don't purchase the mount, you decide during the hunt when harvesting if you want to pay to have that animal available for mounting, so I would guess no.
That would also be why no older animals can be mounted since there is no tag added to that trophy (which you buy) saying it is mountable.

I guess they could have made it so you purchased the mount location in the room, and allowed any animals in your data base to be mounted, but I would imagine that would put a huge load on the server every time someone wanted to mount an animal. It would probably crash it on release as well.

The way I understood it, when you choose to pay at the time of harvest you are purchasing your mount. You can decline to purchase at that time, and still have 24 hours to change your mind, but it will cost you more later. As for the reason older animals cannot be mounted, the information stored for all previous harvests, or before this upgrade comes through, is incomplete for a 3D model, according to Alena in the stream.

Alena said that you can not taxidermize older animals because they have to store additional information to make the model for the lodge - this will only work for animals harvested after the lodge got released. You can choose to taxidermize an animal during the hunt (there will be a prompt after harvesting) or for a certain time after the hunt is finished (up to 24 or 48 hours afterwards if I remember correctly?). If you do it instantly when harvesting it'll be a bit cheaper.

AFAIK the will be no free mounts, but you can pay them with gm$.

EDIT: Quick Jimbo beat me!
