I was talking with my father in law this last weekend about how much taxidermy is worth. He has the #11 boone and crocket roosevelt elk. What do you think something like that is worth?

A lot of you guys are probably wondering why you would sell it. But how many people have houses that big to fit it?
Don't tell my wife but I designed our house for that reason, 28' vaulted ceilings in great room and 10 ceilings in basement.. :chuckle:

The have a traveling tour of the biggest elk. They might have interest in a donation that you could use as a tax deduction.
RMEF is a 501 C3

I'm hoping someone can answer the question so I can tell my wife how much she can sell my mount for when I kick the bucket. Otherwise I'm pretty sure she'll just take it to the dump. :dunno:
:yeah:
This is why I'm reluctant to spend much money on taxidermy work- to know that the heads will most likely just end up in a landfill after I'm gone. But I sure will enjoy looking at that bighorn sheep head on the wall when I'm 80 years old and no longer able to hunt!

Agree with what you're saying...but why are you quitting at 80? :o

I won't quit as long as I can still get around, but I thought I was being optimistic with that. Already have pain in one hip, both shoulders, a knee, and my back. Can't even imagine how I'll feel at 80. :o

I would bet it would be closer to 8k or 10k. I got offered 5K 6 years ago for a Muledeer my dad shot in 1956. Scores 263 3/8. Cabelas, Bass Pro and traveling horn collections like you see at sport shows all buy big heads
I would agree. 8-10k seems about right.
