Nonetheless there are guys who buy outstanding trophies just to pretend having shot them. A taxidermist lost a couple of wealthy clients this way. He stupidly recognized auctionned trophies on clients' walls, the clients didn't appreciate.

Fortunately, here in France, trophies are fashion. The showbiz people love them and claim it. That helps a lot.

Personally I only want my own trophies, though some are hardly decent (warthog for example). In fact I don't care much about the size of my trophies and never use a tape in the field. They are on the wall to call back fond memories. The ones I prefer are those that were hard earned.

If I were rich, I'd love to buy the heavy tusk because it belongs to history.

Mr Boutonnet sent also a catalog of auctions of birds : pure beauties, very colorful. A couple of multicolored birds would lighten up a living room. But my wife says they look gaudy
