6x6 Elk Mount

[Herd Buck]

I bought a cabin in NY and the prior owner left his elk mount and doesn’t want it, I’m looking to sell it or donate the mount with a cash contribution to my hunting fund it’s in great condition and beautiful Mount make an offer.

Not a bad bull , do a Google search there might be someone who would take it for the horns to make jewelry

Good luck. Try Nextdoor app, Facebook marketplace or any local archery/gun shops?

I’d be interested if it was a moose but never cared much for elk mounts.

 I'd concider taking it but I'm still trying to find room for the last 5 of 18 mounts we currently  have

I just don't  have the room  I have 5 mounts and another 3 dozen sets of antlers  stored in the rafters in my garage  that I'm trying to decide what to do with but I'll ask a few people I know to see if they might want it or know somebody that might

Like I said I just don't have the room for another mount

That's like too much taxidermy lol. I don't have any and don't ever plan on it either. I've donated horns b4 for free. All the rest go into a barrel or bin. But awesome display.

Those are only one room,   I have dozens more throughout
The house and garage.
If I never kill. Another big game animal with horns  in my lifetime  It won't phase me,  we do an archery   hunt  in Colorado and Montana, every year  for cow elk and anterless deer for the freezers but once our tags are filled  it's upland game and waterfowl. For the rest of the season  been that way for the last 6-7 yrs  big game hunting Just  doesn't get me excited anymore.

And yes, we have thousands of dollars, invested in big game , small game upland birds predators, and waterfowl mounts

I can always ask my local range/club if they will take it and in exchange give you something for it.
Where is it located?

[Ausable]

Over the next few years  most of the  mounts will come off the walls the horns will be cut off and sold to dealers in Montana & Wyoming  that buy them by the pound to make jewelry, trinkets, chandeliers, furniture and gifts for tourist    only a, select few will be kept.

My father told me I'd hit a point in life where the thrill. Of killing a  big racked buck or bull wouldn't be such an adrenaline rush, he was right I've hit that point in life.

How old were you when it hit ?  I reached that milestone yesterday at 59-15/16.   It’s going to be first come, first served with my buck tags, from here on out.

3 yrs, ago at 56  I woke up opening day of  big game season  walked around the house looking at  the success and memories, 40 yrs  of  bow hunting. ,  in multiple  states  for everything from whitetails in NY ME, IA, MN, PA, to moose in NEWFOUNDLAND   dall sheep ,and a  grizzly in Alaska  , mountain goats mule deer and white tails in Montana & Wyoming, elk in Colorado and Idaho  had brought me, I realized I had nothing else I needed   or  wanted to accomplish  another 200 inch whitetailinch . 380+ class bull elk ,or 50 inch bull moose,was no longer appealing, it no longer got me excited  I realized at that moment  I was done.it was time to hang up the bow, put away the packs and call my big game hunting career a complete success.
