I don't see the anything wrong with the replicas.
Just think if there were not any replicas, you would not get a chance to see and enjoy the sizes of the biggest deer ever taken ! Those original antlers would be locked away in Johnny Morris's or Dick Cabelas personal trophy rooms.
Instead replicas are made & put on display for all to enjoy.
Now if someone is trying to pass off a replica rack to be real, then that is a problem.
I like seeing big deer antlers for the antlers themselves, not for who killed it.
have to agree with that! its neat going into some of these outdoor stores just to look at the mounts. sure alot probably are fake, but like you said, the other option is never getting to see what a 300+ inch rack looks like. now someone dreaming up a set of huge antlers, and passing them as real that they killed is one thing, but replicas are a different story. they are a way to share with the rest of the world the magnificient rack that was actually grown by a real deer
