I agree, he can ask for any amount of money he wants. But I also have the right to criticize this POS for shooting a trophy buck with the intent of full mounting then asking for the money to pay for it........
So only the rich should hunt?
This guy’s been hunting for decades, and got the buck of a lifetime. He had no real way to know it would be now, or ever, and you don’t know what other financial obligations like a family he has. I can’t blame him for wanting it preserved and mounted, and without knowing his situation I wouldn’t call him a POS over it. I’d save that for scammers and such. But that’s me.
