You would be surprised as to the people who would buy mounts. Deer mounts especially large and heavy scoring racks go at big dollars sometimes. There is a lady in Iowa that shed hunts with a Dog and sells some of them every year. It is obviously legal there to sell sheds as she does it. Anyway she sold a matched set to Cabelas several years ago for over 1,300 dollars. Now it was a buck that scored 192 5/8 inches typical to, so that is a Hoss. Cabelas will take that rack get a reputable taxidermist to find a suitable cape and mount that deer fro them to display in one of their stores.
Restaurants, Bars, Meeting Halls, Outfitters, Sporting goods shops, the list goes on and on of whom would buy mounts. There is also a ''Black Market'' demand for many things that come from the animals. Deer antlers can be sold in the Asian black market and also furniture and home decor manufacturing uses Deer, Moose and Elk antlers all the time.

Again just some food for thought...
