If anyone ever looks here….. Don Broder is currently taking his lawyer to court, and suing for 5 million for lack of legal representation.

The family wanted the deer head in a museum, and Don Broder and son wouldn’t reveal the where abouts…..

I have knowledge of the case, the outcome, and the things that aren’t in the paper….. my grandma used to hang her socks on it.

its a shame that greed came into this situation, but how many of the ones that are causing all the pain between family even visited their grandfather. They are a shame to the family name and their grandfather.

See the real story for yourself - go to

http://www.albertacourts.ab.ca/go.aspx?tabid=13

and enter the search term “Broder” to locate the court cases.

I’d say that Craig and Don are the greedy ones. They admittedly stole the deer head from the family, carted it around for years no doubt pocketing any proceeds from showings, sold the deer head in 2003 again pocketing the cash, lied to the Court about its whereabouts, and now they are crying for their precious deer head back. Give me a break! If the Broder Buck meant so much to them, they wouldn’t have sold it in the first place. And if family meant anything to them, they wouldn’t have taken, then sold a family heirloom.

As for any collusion among, dishonesty or less than honourable treatment from the Justice(s) and the lawyers, the claims appear unfounded from my reading of the case decisions - maybe Don and Craig are just sore losers. As for any claims that the lawyers are greedily taking all the proceeds, well, if Don and Craig hadn’t lied, cheated and stolen from their family there wouldn’t have been any need for the lawyers to get involved! And if Don and Craig had fessed up about not having the deer head, there might have been a quicker and less costly solution to the case. It’s no wonder that their lawyers quit on them – my guess is that they quit because Don and Craig were trying to get them to lead evidence that suggested they had the deer head when they didn’t - a lawyer could be seriously reprimanded or disbarred for misleading the Court in that way. No such risk for ole Craig though … If they had admitted that they no longer owned the deer head, then perhaps they could have been dealing with theft charges rather than the Estate litigation that ensued. They’ve shown a clear lack of respect for the legal system and they get no sympathy from me.

I just read the article on the Broder Buck and it’s a shame that a FAMILY can not reconcile this issue without the “help” of the Canadian courts. I truly believe that the buck should be in the hands of Don and Craig. The other “family” members are obviously in it for the money. I myself have a brother and sister and I can’t imagine fighting with them over a deer mount…even if it is a world record. Money should never come between family! I would assume based on the dates and information provided that the Broder brothers and sisters are pretty old. They can’t take the buck or money with them win they die. The saying “the one with the most toys wins” is not what they should be thinking. “The one with the most toys still dies” is more fitting. They must realize that their petty claim for the Broder Buck will not be decided by the Canadian courts, but by GOD, when they stand in front of him. And to the gentleman who currently has the deer…if the courts decide in favor of Don and Craig, sell it back to them. After this is said and done, they deserve it.

Very interesting tale. You left out one part of the story so far. In 2000 Craig offered replicas of the buck for sale to the general public as advertised in Trophy Hunter Magazine. I don’t know how many he sold, but I am surprised the rest of the family haven’t demanded a share of the proceeds from those sales.
Keep us posted on the final outcome.

I bought the magazine to read the story. The article said to log on to the blog to see the outcome of the court case. Please update us as soon as possible.

Don and Craig should get to keep what is theirs. The other family members are full of greed.

I’ll bet that Ed Broder is turning over in his grave to have his offspring fight over a deer rack. So many families torn apart over mom and dads stuff. But to hear that a deer caused all this hate and discontent! My suggestion is that they have me hold onto the rack until Ed comes back to reclaim the prize:)

The case should definitely be decided in favor of Don Broder and his son. These people have taken greed to new levels.
