RE: Selling your trophy
I really would want the original as well.
It certainly would be hard to say until the money is in front of you and your situation....
I think I might give up some cash now for a licensing fee...etc....you probably could make that money back if you rented it out for tours etc....
Or heck just charge $10 a person to view it...
I read a few years back a guy road killed a monster....and he had people stopping at his house non stop simply from a newspaper article and word of mouth.
But I would want to keep it I think, but who knows.
I think that lovingston buck out of IA a few years back got like $50 grand.
