I may sell my giraffe mount

Have you considered talking with a taxidermist and possibly cutting it to size?

Bite your $^&****^%$%*($### tongue sir!

You might also think about speaking to your favorite local gun store. If you’re a regular they might be willing to display it for you while you await another move or building a trophy room.

Excellent advice. Well done that man.

Good question and good thread. I have often wondered about selling taxidermy....I have some stunners, and no idea of their value .. I'd be happy to leave them to those who survive me, but they'd probably end up in the landfill.....I feel your pain at getting rid of your trophy....it's more than just the monetary value................best of luck with whatever you decide.............FWB

Couldn`t agree more Bill.

It’s a shame “The Corner Shoppe” in Austin TX closed; that place could buy and sell anything that was legal.

Even if he wasn’t interested in buying he could tell you what it was worth and give you options & advice.

I just saw a 1/2 life size for sale for like 4k. And nobody was jumping on it at that price.

What does "half life size" mean?

Basically a mount with the front half of the animal mounted, many times mounted from the last rib forward. A buddy has a half nyala and it is stunning. You get the orange of the front legs the mane and the stripes. It sits on the floor and flush to the wall. Many people paint a mural of bush to make it look like it’s emerging out of thick bush.

Here is a 1/2 lifesize warthog I have. Basically it has the whole front half of the animal.
