Mounted Animals For Sale

[Andrew62]

My dad passed away 4 months ago, my siblings have contracted with Joe R. Pyle's Auction in Shinston, WV, to sell Dad's mounted animals. You will find everything from a shoulder mounted elephant to life size leopard and brown bear. If you decide to look up the animals being sold, go to Joe Pyle's Auction site, Page 4, go down a ways on the page and look for a listing that includes 'taxidermy'. Dad's item numbers are 313 up to 351. This auction will be live on August 26th, and if you'd like to bid now you may. When I stopped over earlier today to take some final pictures I couldn't help feel sad to see them go, then realized how blessed I was to go with Dad to Africa 3 times, Alaska, Canada numerous times, muskox hunting in Nunavut, went fishing way too many times to remember. A real mixture of emotions today!

So sorry for your loss! I went online and viewed all his animals…what a life he must have lived with so many great memories! Each animal is beautiful!

Oh man sorry you are going through this, I bet you have some terrific memories. You are very fortunate to have hunted with your father.

Very nice trophies that your father collected. I did not see the leopard and elephant in the auction. Did they remove them?

Yes, my brother told me today the auction house has pulled 15 mounts, elephant, leopard, all the black bears and whitetail dear. Selling mounted animals is increasingly more difficult, nearly impossible to sell any north American wildlife. For example, the 4 black bears he shot in Canada cannot be sold because they are indigenous to Maryland, his state of residency.
