I am very new to this forum and have a few questions for all the seasoned hunters and experienced big game collectors. I have a Black Rhino Mount to sell, it was gifted to my dad over 30 yrs ago. My dad had always called the Rhino 'Melnor' and when passed away Melnor came to live with me. He is a full head to mid-shoulder mount and is quite huge. He is in great condition and is totally authentic with horns intact. I don't a one shread of CITES paperwork on him and only a pieces of info regarding this origin.... I have been told that I can only sell him in my home state- CA. I have posted him for sale occasionly but most interested parties are Asian and really just want his horns. I admire Melnor and cherrihs his powerful demener and I don't want him to be pieced out. I guess my question is this-- can you tell me how I can reach serious collectors and avid outdoorsmen/outdoorswomen. And any ball park numbers as to his value. I am open to any and all input from you folks and I know most you really know your stuff regarding such matters. Thanks a bunch
