Any ideas where to sell a museum quality Boone and Crocket black bear mount?

Thanks

A taxidermist once told me he sells alot to restaurants and bed and breakfasts.some of the game that he mounted and never got picked up.

I see them advertise on Craig's list all the time.

Unless they are priced well they hang around for a long time.

Check with one of the major outdoor sporting goods retailers, Cabela's/Bass Pro/Gander Mountain.

Depending on where you live, there are outdoor auctions around the country. Regardless of where you live, the auctions, and outdoors venues like Cabela's only give you a fraction of the value of a mount, think 30-40%. It's not ideal, but you can recoup some of your money.

I know the head of one of the county's largest, high quality taxidermy outfits. He told me, usually the best you might expect is to recoup the cost of the taxidermy work. The exceptions being very large specimens and some of the less common species. For example 30 inch mule deer, mountain sheep especially over 40 inches, the big cats, 60 inch Kudu, 65-70 inch moose, 170 whitetail, etc.
