Title: very sad
Post by: spur_ride on November 09, 2009, 02:06:45 PM: this is a link to ebay and to me its sad to see a deer of this size sold for as much money as it is going for. i dont know if it is someone who needs the money but dang. i would much rather see it donated to a museum or donated to a sporting goods store. :twocents:

This is a beautiful 42 point Deer Head Mount. He was raised on our farm. This is his 4 year old set. He died at the age of 6. This mount scores 286"BC gross score. This will be a great addition to your selection. Great conversation piece. Free Shipping!!

it seems that they are in the deer farming business.
i don't find it sad. it's their business.

:dunno:

My thoughts exactly.

It is their business, why not, if they can find some one to pay them 8000.00 then so be it. It just gives them money to continue on
