hunter83 Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Lets say that I wanted to sell a deer mount that I had, probably a 115" 8 pointer. Very Nice mount got it done in 2003, and just want to get a little extra money to maybe get another deer that I have harvested mounted. Who would be potential markets to try and sell to and get the most money from my mount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganHunter Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 WELL, you can try -ebay always some on there, -craigslist, -try putting stuff up on the local sporting goods stores pin up boards, -can go ask your taxidermist if he has had anyone come in looking for a mount. -can always look for a state hunting sight, I'm on Michigans Sportsman Forums, I'm sure there's one for your state too. -you chould post it here once you get some more cash -If you have a good taxidermist he might give you some value for the mount so he can sell the mount and give you some value towards the new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunter83 Posted October 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 It was a pretty neat hunt. It was a really steady cold rain on Nov. 20, 2003. I was hunting a field that is probably 400 yards long and I would say no more than 30-40 yards wide. I just pulled up to a spot there on the creek bank got off of my 4-wheeler and set up right directly in front of it. I was only out to try and harvest a doe for my aunt so my intention was not completley out for a buck, although the rut was in full force so I never doubted the chance of it. About 15 minutes after I got set up, I noticed a couple of deer hauling butt down the hill to my right, so I got ready for a shot. The two does basically busted it across the field with no chance for a shot even though I tried to stop them. About 30 seconds later coming down the same trail was another deer coming pretty fast, when he came out in the field he was in a hot trot coming straight at me grunting every step of the way. He started at 80 yds and once I got the crosshairs on his chest and pulled the trigger, he was at about 10 yards. He died just 15 yards from where I was sitting directly in front of me. The fastest hunt I've been on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kid Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 cut the horns off and get him mounted later when you have the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 I honestly don't think a 115" will bring too much money. I think I'd try and find another source of revenue rather than sell one of my racks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohiobucks Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 cut the horns off and get him mounted later when you have the money Or, keep your 115" 8 point mount, just replace the existing rack (skull plate) with your new trophies skull plate. I'm sure a taxi would do something like that on the cheap for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Occasionally someone will bring in just a set of horns to be mounted without a cape. If you can find someone like that, you might be able to sell the mount, minus the horns (skull plate). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fly Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 My old taxidermist told me my 161 inch deer would bring about $700.00. I didn't ask him where or from whom because I wasn't interested. If you really are determined to sell it you may want to try a bar or restaurant that would be interested in hanging a deer head on the wall.
