We are moving to a new house and my wife won't let me put my 6x6 Elk shoulder mount in the new house. Honestly there's really no good place in the new house for it. I'm thinking about selling it. Are there any laws regarding the sale of a game animal mount that I should be aware of?

Nope, My house was getting crowded so I sold an axis mount not long ago. It was easier than I expected. People want them for game rooms, bars, restaurants, etc. I looked at Ebay and got a good feel for what they sold for and just listed it locally. Sold in about a week

NO both Individuals and retail stores sell them all of the time. No place in the garage for it ?

Migratory bird mounts are an issue, but I think that's it.

If you want some friendly advice, get a haircut and take a bath. You wouldn't get hassled so much.

I've sold several on ebay. Just be sure you put in enough money to have it shipped correctly.

I checked eBay and was very surprised to see how much some people are asking for their mounts.

why not yank the horns out of the form and do something cool with them? Plenty of ideas out there.

That's the asking price. look up the sold listings the mounts don't bring very much. Why don't you try and sell it on here.

In CA it's illegal to sell any wild animal parts without a special permit. I don't know for sure what the laws are in any other states, but in the land of many laws, CA rarely enforces that one and usually it's only done when they are trying to get you for a bunch of other stuff. I know that my taxidermist there had to have those permits to sell mounts that he did and then nobody ever came by to pay for them. After a year, he would sell them.

Life has a way of changing in time and you will regret selling it. If it was me, I would find a friend to hold it for me if I could, if not, I would put it in the garage, or box it up and store it somewhere out of the way. Maybe buy a shed or something.

Elk take up a lot of room and and I understand the lack of space

I would see if you could find a resturaunt to loan it to that way if you wanted it back then you could get it


For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Glad my wife is cool... she couldn’t wait to find a place to hang up my deer mounts.
