A guy from our area was offered the chance to sell a buck he killed a few years ago during muzz. season here to the Cabelas store in Dundee. Part of the deal was that they would provide a replica for him and his name would be on a plaque on the mount. Man, I love my mounts, but if I was offered 50-150 grand, a replica mount, and my name on a plaque that every hunter walking in that door could see, I would have a hard time turning that down. Man 150 g's would pay everything off, put my daughter through college ( that starts next year) and most important help me retire earlier and HUNT EVEN MORE!!!! Now how is that all bad!

I mean come on, it is being sold to the most prominent outdoor store in the great USA to be displayed and enjoyed forever, not to some black market dealer in the orient somewhere that will be grinding up the rack to sell some poor limp dude some high priced Viagra!!!
