Why would anyone steal a Elk mount? I wouldn't have it if he gave it to me, if i didn't shoot it myself. It never ceases to amaze me the mentality of some people in this world.

Salmonella,
Can you give us any more pertinent information on it? Like when this happened, what the mount looked like (sneak position, head turned, bugling whatever), also a full on view and any unique characteristics? Something that big just doesn't disappear and go unnoticed somewhere else. Those thieves have another thing coming if they think all elk antlers look the same.

Truely sad..........lots of guys "buy" trophies. There was a market for large whitetails a few years ago that involved breaking into Canadian Taxidermy shops and then selling them as taken in Mexico. Hope the guy gets it back, actuallly a pretty good possability if someone tries to sell it. Good Luck man.

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've never understood it myself but it's a different world today. Collecting antlers and paying big money for them is the new trend for some. Bragging rights for the biggest ones I guess? As this phenomenon continues and grows I believe more of this will happen and more trophy class animals will be poached. 270

I recall a hunter who shot a new number one record for the species and a "fat" checkbook in camp offered him a huge sum for it and also the price to hunt another while he was still in camp, on the sole basis that it was unrecorded in the record books being so new. His silence was also a rider in the sale. He did not sell.
