Goliath deer Mount 4 sale on e-bay
They are selling a replica pedastal mount of goliath on ebay.Scores ove 430 B & C. This should bring a fortune. Their is a 231 real rack only on there for 3500.00 also. People are nuts
|
RE: Goliath deer Mount 4 sale on e-bay
With it being a replica, wonder how much it will bring? I guess it depends on how many replicas have been made. Any guesses? I guess $12,000.

According to Outdoor Life magazine if you harvested a deer on Kings ranch in Texas that scores 200 or better it would cost you $100.00 per inch .... 430 x 100.00 ..YIKES !!!!!!

We have a wealthy business man that lives near here, and he thinks nothing of going to the famous deer place in Michigan (Can't think of the name now), and whacking 2 or 3 trophy deer that cost $5,000 each.

I looked all over ebay & did not see it. |
RE: Goliath deer Mount 4 sale on e-bay
I think the (famous place) you are referering to is Legends Ranch. I almost booked there but they didn't offer the swedish massage and exotic wildberrie crepes in the moring for breakfast so I passed on the hunt. LOL

ORIGINAL: jdreddish post the link I looked all over ebay & did not see it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=WDVW It is sitting at $1425 on Sunday evening. It is a beautiful deer with a lot of cbackground to it.... I can't believe they found it alive after it was stolen. Hopefully, they have a lot of young from him so they can the gene pool. |

Ice Dragon. Goliath was a breeder buck on a farm in Pennsylvania. Goliath died in December at the age of 7 1/2 years old. In 1999 this buck was stolen from the farm and wasn't found until 2003 at another farm in Pennsylvania. DNA smaples were used in court to return him to his owner. At 2 1/2 years old this buck scored around 230 BC. At the time of his death he scored around 430 BC.

RE: Goliath deer Mount 4 sale on e-bay
WOW, thats a pretty cool mount. It looks kinda fake to me though.
I dont think I'd pay that much for it either, but I dont know. Might be cool to have. |
RE: Goliath deer Mount 4 sale on e-bay
Wow .. That is crazy!!!

Since you can get the Hole-in-the-Horn REP for $5k I bet the Goliath REP has a reserve set around that but will go for 7k or 8k...
It's a tremedous deer and famous too which helps. They really don't give enough info... |
RE: Goliath deer Mount 4 sale on e-bay
Very nice taxidermy work on the cape, but he antlers look 'glass like'.
|
RE: Goliath deer Mount 4 sale on e-bay
The taxidermy is mediocre at best. Although the eyes and the facial detail are good, one can easily see the seams on the back of the neck and the fit of the hide to the back of the pedistal is sloppy. I'm not so sure that I would have used plywood for the mounting base as well. I'd have picked a good solid hardwood, something a little fancier.
I hope the bidders know that the rack is a reproduction, fake, hopefully legally cast from the originals. They are fiberglass or resin, the buyer is not getting the actual set of antlers and I'm sure that this guy has many more of the racks on standby. Yeah, they'll make a good conversation piece for shows and people will flock to the booth that has this mount until they find out that it is fake.....and that "Joe Outfitter" around the corner has another one... $1500 so far, man how some folkes are blinded by rack size... |

Looked at the mount. The fit of the hide to the back is a matter of opinion. They are done that way and its very evenly done. Looks professional to me. All the other detail is very goood, including the painting job on the finish work. Its definitely top notch taxidermy work. Nothing shabby about that . And what you think is plywood is actually high grade solid oak from what I see. The back of the mount is very nice smooth leather. Jeff |
RE: Goliath deer Mount 4 sale on e-bay
One can easily see the stitched seam along the back of the neck. This mount at best would perhaps render a third place ribbon in competition. The base is plywood, veneer, I doubt that it is even oak. You can easily spot the seam where it has been pieced together. Look at the base near the brisket. The edge gives it away..it shows the middle of the plywood section, clearly...
Don't get me wrong, it will sell and it will draw a crowd on display, right up until folks find out it's a fake...Sell peanuts perhaps, but I'd rather see a well done spike instead.. I wonder what the reserve bid is? |
RE: Goliath deer Mount 4 sale on e-bay
The mount in horrible IMO, the mouth expression is stupid looking to me. I realize it is "supposed" to be a lip curl, but it sucks. I've got several on the wall that look much better. The horns also look cheesy and not a all authenic. Honestly, I wouldn't give you $100 for that mount. It's pathetic.

RE: Goliath deer Mount 4 sale on e-bay
What is the big thing about this deer anyway,basically it was someones pet. Never wild never hunted. Sat behind a fence and had it's sperm drained it's entire life. I see nothing important about how big of a rack this buck had because it's not wild. Tame deer might as well lived in a zoo, really nothing more then an investment and money maker for these folks.
I wouldn't hang the thing in my house if it was free. |
RE: Goliath deer Mount 4 sale on e-bay
If I had the money I'd have pd $20,000 to have him come and breed the does in my area. He was truly a majestic beast and It's sad to me he lived his life inside a fence.
As for anyone spending that much on a replica, they need help. Seriously! |
RE: Goliath deer Mount 4 sale on e-bay
Why in hell would anyone buy a replica of someone else's deer ?
That's about as stupid as I've ever heard .  |
RE: Goliath deer Mount 4 sale on e-bay
I stand corrected on the veneer. Never saw the up close pics for some reason the first time I went to ebay. Although I still feel that everything excepting the seam is very well done as a mount. Though I'm no judge in competitions. Its much better than average everyday work around here.
|
RE: Goliath deer Mount 4 sale on e-bay
WOW!! Thats a big rack. Shame there arent alot of them around here in PA[&o]
|
RE: Goliath deer Mount 4 sale on e-bay
It's simple just put one in a pen that has some good genes and pump it fill of growth hormones etc. You can have one in PA. if you want.
Does the replica mount include the tag in his ear too?[8D] |
RE: Goliath deer Mount 4 sale on e-bay
Some people have too much money.
|
RE: Goliath deer Mount 4 sale on e-bay
;)Well at least PA will have one WORLD CLASS buck to its credit.;)

RE: Goliath deer Mount 4 sale on e-bay
The Goliath buck was mentioned in Canseco's book, apparently ol' Jose shot the buck up himself on a number of occasions...:D:D
|
RE: Goliath deer Mount 4 sale on e-bay
I did a little work ; and went to a few shows;(around 15 years worth).
that being said; the mount looks gooooood to me.you can see the seam in the back of the neck (some) but the rest looks like a first place ribbon to me. JMHO  .all the expressions and lips are a GREAT job not a good job; A GREAT JOB.  .the details are an OK job.it all depends on the person that has it done,if they like it , then I am damn proud for them.[:o] it is hard to look at a picture and judge it for a show,just looks like a pic. in person you can touch and feel and look into the mouth and nose to see it the details are realistist. that is my 2 cents ; there are 98 more. some people may disagree with me on this , but they are wrong!![:o][&:][8D]:D |
RE: Goliath deer Mount 4 sale on e-bay
As of 03-01-05 at 11:35 pst he is at U.S $2,225.00
