Lifesize bear mount FS

[elkantlers]

Is there a market for selling taxidermy? If so, where would be a good place to sell it? I have a life-size bear mount that I'm thinking about selling. It just takes up a lot of space and I wouldn't mind it being gone.

Not much of one. Nowhere near what was spent on mounting it.

See if your favorite bar/restaurant wants it.

I've thought about that but there isn't anything anywhere near me that even comes to mind.

May want to check with your local high school if they have a wildlife museum? Or fish and game office.

We sold my uncles to cabelas; didn’t pay a lot but better than nothing. We kept what we wanted and got rid of rest. Price for that I’d guess around 1000$ from them.

We have some in the lobby at our local airport. Good place to display them. Plus they are outta the way.

Man if I was closer I'd take it for my high school wildlife classroom.

Had a neighbor who had one of the most impressive private trophy rooms i have ever seen.
Had to move. He found some outift out of Arkansas to auction them off. I was impressed with
the prices of some of it. So, yes, I would say there is a market out there. especially for a full mount like that.

It is a bit of a stretch. I've often thought about mounts and what to do with them. I already have a lot of critters on the wall, and I'm still young. They just don't carry meanings to others like they do to the original hunter. I've done euro mounts for the past few animals to try and save some space & $. A euro plus a photo can go a long way! Save a ton of money in the process.
