Selling your trophy room....

[dogcat1]

I just went through the process of downsizing and selling a large collection of Africa, Asia and American mounts.
Heartbreaking but needed.
Sold the lot through an auction service in Ft. Worth, TX.
They did an outstanding job and I got a lot more than I ever imagined.

If you need this service, I would recomment them - www.westernsportsman.com

They were honest and paid very quick.

PM me if you need info.

PS - I do not work for them nor rep them. I just used their services.

I am familiar with some of your hunts, you had some fantastic trophies.

I referred an old friends Widow to them and they sent transport to the house in PA, took everything down, loaded up and took it to Ft. Worth - pretty seamless. They run a very good business and offer an invaluable service.

Everyone in Fort Worth is kind, honest and fine and the children are all above average.

Something called Outdoor Canada comes up when I try the link.

I think this must be the correct link. https://www.westernsportsman.auction/

Thanks for Posting Ross….
We all are or will be facing this… I have some 20 mounts or more with Euros all sitting in a storage room and also heading on some future safaris where some game would be definite “upgrades” but where do you put any of it…
Glad to hear of a great experience

I’m leaving it up to my kids, mounts are easy, packing all the bullets out are gonna be the issue! Lol. Glad you downsized the way you wanted to Sir!

My problem is bulk of the collection is waterfowl. And not legally able to sell them.

Will see if any of my 3 boys end up keeping them

 

[Wyfox]

That would be hard, lots of memories.

What did you keep?

If you had to do it all over again would you do it differently, less taxidermy more euros?

Ross ! This is devastating news your selling trophies now after you sold so many guns & binocs & stuff ??!!

Now I am going to worry about this for the rest of the week ! Plus no hunting reports for a while ?!

You are not doing an "Ivan Carter" on us & switching to the other side ??

ps the link takes me to "Outdoor Canada" ??

This is a problem many of us will be facing one of these days. I’ve largely stopped mounting trophies, other than a few special animals. I’ve still got room for more, but not a lot more. The bigger issue is the cost of shipping & taxidermy compared to spending that money doing more hunting. Also, I don’t want to over burden my children with having to deal with too many mounts after I die.

What does this mean....I don't know the guy, talked to him at a show once or twice,....never could figure out what his deal was. Then a buddy informed me that anything is possible when you marry into a super-rich family, and it all kinda made sense.

I have their website bookmarked and follow their auctions. It's amazing how much the bidding frenzy impacts the prices.
