If you could finally find where the mount is, I would take all the pictures you have of the deer and prove without too much trouble it was yours. Who knows,you may find it ina Gander Mountain, a Bass Pro Shop, or worse yet, over the fireplace in a Cracker Barrel.Show the corporate head quarters of those companies your evidence, and you will have your mount back without too much trouble. Just hope you don't find it in a Cracker Barrelbecause I have seen some pretty bad taxidermy work there.

Just a thought.

I noticed that in our local Gander Mountain, they have the name of the taxidermist posted under most of their mounts.
