They certainly have a value these days, that's for sure! Around here their are anlers buyers that are always "scouting" for a new purchase. A B&C minimum typical gets $1,500, no questions asked. The most expensive rack I have personally held in my own hands was one buck (the Lobster Claw Buck) that was sold to the Legendary Whiteails collection many years ago. This buck was actually found dead near a small twon in my area. My Taxidermist told me I just HAD to come over and see this beast he was mounting. As I was holding the antlers,..... my hands actually started to sweat when he told me they were sold for $30,000! I couldn't imagine that kind of money for horns! [:-]
I know heads like the Jordan Buck and the like are insured for $150,000! That would be freakin' awesome.... the right buck could BUY me another tract to hunt!!! [:-]
