I only have mounts that me and my family have shot but I have bought paintings that other people painted. Seems similar to buying taxidermy, it's also artwork.

So just a perspective. When I went through my first divorce I found a bar that would buy all my mounts. It upset me but I was in a bad situation. I really missed looking at deer on the wall. Sounds stupid I know. I landed up having pictures of those deer and made a photo album. I did contemplate buying some once I was on the upswing from a fella that was getting rid of them cheap. Very similar to my situation previously. Some could have passed as my previous deer as well. To me although a different deer kinda preserved the memories, but I didn’t and just rolled with photo album and told myself just like anything there is always another one I can shoot and put up on my own. So I could see people doing it for unique situations or appreciate a nice taxi job.

Swing and a miss. No high horse here at all. There’s been some really good responses. Yours and buying fish to eat at the store were not two of them.

Have you ever picked up a shed from a deer you killed? Ever?

I have a scrubby set of antlers that an old man gave me with a story. He only asked that I tell folk I took the animal, I just can’t do it with a straight face. Supposedly the guy was the real life inspiration for “Jug Johnson”. I eventually get to that when I have enough time because it really is good humor that should continue to live on.
On a fateful day in 1975, Skeeter's response to this letter began the entangled web of correspondence with the annoying, irrepressible, and always entertaining Jug Johnson. Their "friendship" went on for years. Here's how it all started. --The editors

Sooooo ....how many animals do you have on your wall that somebody else killed? And were the materials made in China?

So props to you! Reading that statement really encouraged me this morning!

I can see where someone might really like the "style" and use them for decor only
Cheaper to buy a mount than it is to go hunting
That being said, my mounts ended up in the attic cause they would look out of place in our home, and I'm fine with it. If someone wanted to buy them I'd probably sell them
