Where to buy old big game mounts?

Hi, Is there a recommendation where to buy/look for mounts? Looking around for elk, mule deer, antelope, mt goat, bighorn sheep, cougar, bobcat…

eBay? I have looked at a lot of them on there. We actually bought a Buffalo for our office from a seller on there and it looks good.

Check with taxidermy shops.

^^^^^ I think this is the way to go. Lots of people never pick up their mounts from the taxidermist and they are stuck with them.

Illegal in Mississippi. Check your state regs.

Been several of those showing up on Craigslist in SE idaho(idaho falls) lately..
And the there's a delivery business that delivers game heads allover....pick up at point A making deliveries on way to point B......a taxidermist buddy uses their services....less expensive than box/crate then ship.......way less expensive....

Mine ended up being "missing" from a taxidermist.

I went to a flea market a couple of years ago with my wife and came across a vendor with a fairly large number of mounts. One was a beautiful sable that I really wanted. Too rich for my blood, but they are out there. I also had a friend (recently passed) that had a huge collection of African game mounts. His estate sold off all of the mounts. It was worthy of a museum. Everything from elephant to full mount lions to a 17' crock. He stated his taxidermy fees were over $300k in his hunting career. I wish I knew what the estate got for his collection.

I know where there's a 6x6 elk and a bunch of whitetail mounts for sale.. Shipping would be a killer to Cali..

I've always wanted a jackalope and chupacabra mount
