Where to sell Taxidermy Mounts

[OutandBack]

Hi,

The wife would like me to part ways with mounts and rugs as part of a renovation, and while I hate to part with them it's still a better option than parting with her

Figured I would try and probe the vast knowledge on the site to see if anyone knows a good spot to list the following mounts/rugs? They are all in excellent condition and the taxidermy is top notch so would like to recoup at least part of the investment.

African mounts
Cats
Colour phased bear rugs all 6-7' including a nice grizzly
185" mule deer

Thanks in advance for any input/advice.

You have a 72 transaction trader rating.
So maybe the EE?
Have you called around the taxidermy shops?
They might have clients looking for something.
What kinda cats you talking about?

Try kijiji and Craigslist.

Let me be the first to say, I can't imagine keeping a wife who would devalue my trophies like that.

Regardless of where you sell them, for ####s and giggles I’d put up a flyer at the local vegan or health food stores bulletin board in town lol.

And place a hidden camera for the reaction

Cabelas or other large sporting goods store. Alternatively, donate them to a rod and gun club for decoration in their hall.

That would certainly get a few strange looks.

If you are giving this stuff away.....I would gladly give a bear rug a good home. Just sayin....

Your African mounts you can sell to whom ever you want depending on if you have cites animals. I’m confident the same with bear. However. Your cats possibly might have to be registered with F&W and am very confident you will have to register the mulie with F&W. don’t just throw your gear on kijiji without consulting F&W. you could be opening a can of worms. Enjoy

I have a buyer for your mounts if you have the paperwork to legally sell them.

PM me for details.

I've sold a few pieces of taxidermy, or more accurately tanned capes intended for taxidermy, on the EE.

Ditto on the permissions step. Years ago I hunted in Saskatchewan with no issues taking my whitetail meat and antlers out of province. The last time, I needed to get a form from SERM. No money, just a bit more on-the-record information.

What kind of cats?

Convert the bearskins to blankets. No way I'd get rid of the grizzly or the muley.

Grow a set and give her the boot. Life's too short to be with a fun wrecker like that.

Most times I'd agree, but there may be some special redeeming quality's that make her a keeper.... You never know.
