snapper Posted September 15, 2002 Report Share Posted September 15, 2002 wtnhunt...I know around here some of our local stores has mounts to advertise for the taxidermist. They prob. got some of the mounts from people who never picked them up or payed for them. I also know that some people run out of room to hang their mounts and donate them to hang at those places for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horst Posted September 15, 2002 Report Share Posted September 15, 2002 Re: Where do they come from? Another thing that happens(around here anyway) is people shoot the deer then cant afford the mount.Sometimes the taxidermist does the work on the deal that he gets to keep the mount for a certain period, say a year, to advertise his business with, after that the guy gets the mount back. Or another scenario is the guy gets the deer, cant afford the mount, so the taxidermist buys the cape and rack from the guy to use for himself.
