Seized antlers, skulls and gear to be auctioned off this weekend

PHOENIX — Looking to add a set of elk antlers or a wildlife mount to your living room? Arizona Game and Fish has you covered.

The Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) will auction off a unique collection of wildlife assets this weekend at the 2026 Outdoor Expo, held at the Ben Avery Shooting Facility on Carefree Highway, approximately half a mile west of Interstate 17.

On offer Saturday and Sunday, March 28-29: antlers, hides, skulls, wildlife mounts, artwork and taxidermy — all sourced from law enforcement seizures, vehicle collision casualties and public donations. Shoppers can buy items individually, by the pound, or bid through a silent auction. Cash and credit cards are accepted.

New this year, the wildlife assets tent is expanding beyond the wild and weird. Outdoor and hunting gear, including jackets, boots, tree stands, tables and game scales will also be available at discounted prices.

The sale isn’t just a chance to score unusual décor. Every dollar raised goes directly toward equipment and technology used to investigate wildlife crimes and protect Arizona’s natural resources.

The Expo runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. both days. Admission and parking are free. For more information, click here.
