I saw an auction show on TV yesterday where full-body mounts of African lions, bighorn sheep, and a brown bear each sold for around $2000.00 a piece.

Seems kind of sad, considering how much the original hunter spent on the trip and the taxidermy.

I wonder what is the best way to sell off a deceased hunter's trophies?

They don't bring much do they.

Polar bears and tigers seem to be the other end of the spectrum.

The only value in taxidermy is sentiment and life experience memories for the hunter. There is very little market value or demand even from family members.

We forget, the value in a mounted trophy is what it means to the hunter and no one else.
