passing it on
As I approach the last quarter of my time, and with no heirs who have an interest, is there a good way to pass my taxidermy on?

There are outfits whose names escape that will buy your whole collection. Sure you'll get pennies on the dollar but you'll be rid of them. Do a Google for taxidermy buyers.

thank you. I should have thought of Lolli Bros. I've bought/sold several horses at their auctions over the years.

Taxidermy has very little monetary value. The Auction houses can sell the mounts but you won't get much for them. It probably won't be worth the trouble to ship or take them to the auction house.

Western Sportsman in Ft Worth hold an auction every 3 months. Shoulder mounts bring $100-$400 depending on the mount. (Look up proxibid auctions)

Polar Bears and cool stuff like that bring more, but don't expect too much.

I have one fish mount.

Before I realized they tend to become close to worthless.

Do you have a local pub, restaurant, or gun shop you like to frequent that might appreciate some decorations?

Average to nice trophies don't sell for much. However, exceptional mounts (gold class or above) can fetch decent money. Unusual or rare mounts do well at auction houses. Some listed but do a search and follow their most recent auction.

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."
