I will have photos and precious memories in my mind when my loved ones have passed that will suffice (naturally) in my mind to help me cherish their memories.
For enough $$$.....the same would suffice for the deer I've taken.

The Albia buck sold for 1.5 million. If I had a huge rack and a sporting goods store wanted to buy it, I would consider renting it at X dollars per year until they obtained a larger one. But outright sell it, I don't think so, but it would be hard to say for sure until the situation arose.

RE: Would you sell your best rack?
I said I would sell one until I shot one worth any money. Had a guy offer $7,500.00 and a replica for it at an outdoor show and i turned him down. I would have done it had he offered $10k and a replica.
How much money are we talkin bout? LOL!!!

Right here is my feelings

I guess this all goes back to what's "good money" for someone...
I've seen what those racks bring on e-bay, and it's not near enough -- for me.
The only way I'd do something like that wouldn't be possible in your hypothetical scenario, but I'd only do it if it was a world-class enough deer that Cabela's or Bass Pro wanted to purchase it for at LEAST $10,000 -- and then, only after a replica set of antlers was made to meet my approval and satisfaction.
