RE: Deer Price
I would suggest going over to Ebay and seeing what mounts are bringing as well as horn prices for equivalent racks. Also, go over to taxidermy.net and ask the same questions in the forums as those guys have to deal with it all of the time and they should give you some good advice. I magine it if you could value the deer at all that it cost you in time and gear to get it. Years of hunting for the elusive trophy and spending countless thousands on camo, scent control, weapons and such and then be reimbursed by the insurance company. Beautiful.
