[Nhcoll-l] sale of deaccessioned deer

[Cody Thompson]

Kaleigh:

I agree with Link.  There certainly are many museums with research missions
that would accept this as a gift or permanent loan.

Take care,
Cody

Have you offered it to any museums? Deconstructed, the antlers+attached
frontals, hooves, patches of hide, etc. would all yield valuable scientific
information to current and future researchers, especially if there are
associated data. Selling specimens sends a message...
