Local shop has been receiving trophies from an old African PH who has no more space since moving to USA.

I saw some great Cape Buffalo mounts for sale last time I was in there

That's quiet the list how many animals are you looking for?

Maybe one. Gives me more options to look around. Not gonna spend a lot of money on it and gonna be a while. Need to look into state reg and ask directly before committing to buy one.

In CA, a cougar mount needs proof it was made on june 6, 1990 or older. There is permit application process and needs to be inspected by a department staff.

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 a guy that just sold his collection, same deal. Worthy of a museum. It filled a 2000 sqrft basement and guest house. He got 30k with two rifles. Full mount lions, leopards, buffalo's, you don't get even close to what's invested in it.

I've got a beautiful bull moose, a buffalo and an extraordinary red stag. They were all displayed in my office, along with bears, deer, birds, etc, until I retired. I live in a modest size home and the big stuff doesn't fit. I'd like to sell them but shipping would be a challenge.

I've always wanted a jackalope and chupacabra mount

Jackalopes are cool and make great conversation pieces around kids...
Those who have no clue I explain how I ran over it in Idaho and had it mounted while I waited for a new tire. lol

Caught this pair playing around in the sagebrush while antelope hunting Wyoming years ago. This is what happens when you get distracted by the other sex.
