My newly married niece want to buy a moose their new home. It seems that her husband like the looks of mine hanging over the fireplace. Neither is a hunter so getting their own is out of the question. They live near Kansas City.

Any suggestions?

Those prices seem about right...to obtain a shoulder mount of a bull moose cost about $5000 to $15,000...a do it your self hunt, after everything is said and done is easily 3K..if you have your own 20K boat and other gear. If you live in Fort Yukon, or Galena, or Aniak, or Ruby, it might be cheaper...but you have to live there. An in-expensive Canadian moose hunt is about 5-6K, a world class Alaskan moose hunt is 12K (or more). Taximdermy, on top of that, will run about $1,200 and shipping may be another $700.

That said, I have a very nice bull moose shoulder mount I would be willing to let go for $8,000, plus shipping. Shot in the Canadian Rockys not far from Calgary.
