I think that it totally depends are where you are located at. For example I hunt mostly in the Tri-Cities and Columbia basin area. We have Tons of pennies there. On the other hand I have a some friends that live up in the Wenatche area, and they never get them. So, hard to come by; well Maybe.

As far as mounting it, I have to agree with Steeley. If it is a big bull sprig, adn you got the cash, go for it. I have one mounted and love it.
