    Say you shoot the world record typical buck. Some guy offers you a million dollars for the antlers, what would you do??? I know you can get replicas, but would it really be the same?

    I'd sell it in a heartbeat.

    I have little use for antlers.... but I'd find uses for a million dollars.

    I'd sell it.

    Its a pipe dream though. Even if you were to shoot the WR, no one is going to offer you a mil for it.

    I would sell it and get a replica, but Dan is right you would not get close to a million.

    I'd sell for 5,000 or even less...I'd have the memory and satisfaction...wouldn't even need a replica but a couple good pics would be nice.

    There aren't many things I wouldn't do for $1 mil. Like...besides harming someone I love, I would probably do anything. Selling antlers? LOL are you kidding me?

    You would foolish and selfish to your family to not sale the antlers.

    A million pays a lot of future college bills for my son, and it would keep me hunting a long time. Break of the check book.
