he probably could have gotten a lot more for it. I know that Cabelas rips people off on those sort of things. Only because these people dont know the difference.
A friend of mine shot the number 2 yukon moose Pope and Young a couple of years ago. An appraiser for this sort of thing told him not to take anything under 40k for it. Cabelas offered him 15k and acted like it was a really good price.
Just my two cents.

There are several ways to make an appraisal. The highest being the scenerio where you have a highly motivated buyer and less than motivated seller. However, when you appraise something at fair market value, the methodology used is the assumption that both buyer and seller are highly motivated. I don't think it's a fair assesment to say that Cabela's ripped off anyone. If they make an offer and the seller takes it then I'd say that is about fair market value.

I would have at least held out for a fully outfitted Guaranteed 10' plus Kodiak Brown bear hunt with a taxidermist fully body mount included........But then again that's just me!

Wow! What a good looking buck...even if it is a whitetail! That will make an awesome full body mount.

The background. . . you mean the dark? It never gets dark Wisconsin? They must be a lot further north than I remember.

Go on any Whitetail forum and look around a bit, you will find that buck and find it was shot in TX, has been on most whitetail forums for at least 1-2 months now. The horns also have alot of TX look to them. I am not trying to start a fight here just getting the facts out there.

If you look at alot of TX deers horns you will see they are long and not much mass, with alot of them curveing in on the points twords the top. Look at a bunch you will know what I mean~!

To clear it alll up to you! ?My husband (James Curtis) is the one who killed the piebald buck in East Texas that has created quite a bit of interest on the Internet. I just wanted to give you the facts so that you can update your website. You can actually see the buck on the Texas Big Game Awards website, as well as on their TropyWatch.
The deer was actually killed November 2, 2008, on a privately owned ranch outside of Palestine, Texas. The piebald deer scored 138 5/8 gross with a total body weight of 195 pounds. My husband is getting the deer full body mounted. Anyways, I just wanted to give you this information since there are lots of emails going around saying the deer was harvested in Michigan, Arkansas, West Virginia, and Georgia just to name a few. One email even says that the deer was sold to Cabelas for $13,000! It is crazy
