My guess is that it will be remounted to disguise it more and it will turn up in a few years in a record book without a pic, just a score sheet.
There is a market for big heads and if they are unrecorded the price goes up. I was thinking the same thing. I made this post over at the most popular site for taxidermists and it had over a thousand views. Time will tell.

Even if it's found seems like it'd be powerful hard to prove who's bull it was without some kind of identification on it. Probably already been sold to support some scum's gambling or meth habit.
Too bad, he's a brute.

Salmonella: This situation is truly sad and discouraging.
Probabilities are that this trophy was stolt by a "sportsman" to hang on their own wall!
Can you imagine?
My good friend Skip lived near Kila, Montana and was in the process of moving to Arizona. His beautiful home was up for sale as he and his wife were in Arizona prepping their new home.
The "realtor" let someone in to see the house that was for sale and the prospective buyer apparently took a liking to the mounted Antelope trophy he had on the wall.
The prospective buyer unlocked an upstairs bathroon window and came back later and laddered up to the window and stole the trophy Antelope mount!
That trophy had been shot on a trip we made to central Wyoming and the picture I took of my friend posing with his trophy has not led to an arrest or recovery as yet (been 4 years or so!).
I hope this fellow has better luck getting his Elk back!

There is a market for big heads and if they are unrecorded the price goes up. Its probably sitting in some local pawn shop. I had several items riped off a few years ago. took matters in my own hands and went searching the pawn shops. Got every thing back execpt for one item and the bums went to jail.
