I have seen in the news about poachers losing there guns, toys, and mounts, and wondered what they do with the mounts they seize? Are they sold at police auctoins or donated to private clubs? Just kinda curios on that, after reading an article about elk poachers, and all the mounts that were taken from them.
Most of the time they are auctioned. Or a lot of times if it is something that fish and wildlife does not have on display they will display it. Sometimes will donate it to a museum, but not often they usually try and make a dollar with it.

They do not come about a lot, just have to keep checking with them.

I talked to a warden at the Idaho auction and I guess they hold them every year but they are rotated between 7 locations. This year it was held in Coeur d'Alene and next years auction is supposed to be held in Lewiston.

Another one I started thinking about, has a taxidermeist had a customer not pay for a mount that has been made, and what does the tasicermest do with the mount after that?

Depending on what type of animal it is, I have a contract that after 60 days it becomes my possesion and I am allowed to sell it to recover my costs. You can not do this with migratory birds like duck and geese, that is why most taixdermists require you to pay money up front in case you are a no show on picking them up.
