What is the highest price ever paid for whitetail shoulder mount?

As of my last update, the highest price ever paid for a whitetail shoulder mount was around $1.5 million. This record was set in 2016 for a mount known as the "Missouri Monarch," which is considered one of the largest whitetail deer ever recorded. The mount's exceptional antler size and unique characteristics contributed to its high value among collectors and trophy hunters. Prices for trophy mounts can fluctuate significantly based on rarity and demand.
