Congrats to him on a great buck. Glad it all turned out well for him. If I’d ever kill a deer of that caliber, give me a replica and that sucker is sold to the highest bidder. I’d have no issues getting rid of it. Same here. That kind of money could do a lot of good. That would be a heck of a college fund. Yep.. His name and buck are etched in history regardless if you have original hanging on wall or replica who cares. Show me the $$.

True Trophy Hunter never sell their heads IMO Guess we at a time where folks think it’s fine to have other’s Trophies… if you can’t earn them just buy them! Sad…

Sad… Pretty Sure a company bought not a individual. Bass Pro Whitetail Museum is rumor I heard. You keep and house could burn, be stolen etc. Why not get paid and deer displayed in a museum for hunting ethosist to view??? Seems like a win, win for hunter and sportsmen

Scan it with a 3d scanner and have a hologram made of it. Now that would be cool

Keith Snider of North American Monster Whitetails owns the rack at current time…. Maybe he sales to Bass Pro?

Keith Snider of North American Monster Whitetails owns the rack at current time…. Maybe he sales to Bass Pro? Just what I heard. And if NAWMW bought deer then there you go it will be added to a collection for sportsmen to view going forward. Whomever bought it, I do not fault Dustin for selling. Think most would do same thing thing, as I said above I think its a win, win for both hunter (get paid) and for sportsmen to have chances to view the deer.

North American Monster Whitetails Is a private collector…. Not sure if public will be seeing the OG much probably just a replica when Huff makes shows!
As I stated before there will always be mixed feelings on this issue of selling.
Great Deer and pics for sure!

I know what I would do. No judgment either way though. It should be a private decision between the buyer and seller.

Mitch’s past history didn’t help his cause! Once you make your Bed you got to lay in it! All he had to do was let someone X-ray the antlers from my understanding!

Personally, I think the Rompola rack is legit. Ethically harvested? Who knows.
As for the Huff buck being sold: It's hard to judge without knowing his personal situation or the terms of the actual deal being publicly known. I do think he probably sold him self short for no other reason then the rack will never be worth less then it is now. It is an appreciable asset. (not true for the Hanson buck which will drop in value if it is officially dethroned).
