HUNTnGA:

Alot of things go into determining the worth of a deer head when something like a house fire is involved. The company dosent simply repay you the price that you paid to get the deer mounted. I have a friend who lives in Florida, 2 years ago he hunted on a ranch down here in s. Texas and ended up shooting a 193" buck. His house burnt down about 1 year ago, and the insurance company repaid him for that deer mount. But they repaid him for everything that was involved in taking that deer and getting it back home.

The price of the hunt was $6,500, the traveling expense was $500, the lic. cost was $250, the taxidermy bill was another $450, and it cost $100 more to ship it back home. The insurance company added all of this up and gave him $7,800 for that deer head.

Now a 134" buck isint considered a "trophy buck", and you probably didnt travel to a big ranch and pay a big price for the hunt. But any expense that you paid to get the chance to shoot that buck, should be rembursed to you by the insurance company.


Dont look on Ebay, the mounts on there wont help you in determining the price of your deer mount.
