I know of a couple different guys in KS that were offered a rather sizable amount of money from Cabelas for the trophy buck he harvested by bow. Just the head & antlers part. Cabelas even offered to made a replica of the mount so the guy could keep it in his house.
I know one guy took the offer, & one chose not to.
The one guy was able to pay off his truck with that sizable donation.
So, yes, I think you can sell mounts, but I also believe the restrictions pertain to certain species of animals. & Whitetail deer may not be on that list.
I may be wrong about this, but I know mounted animals get sold all the time.
I was at an auction about 6 months ago that had 20 some mounts that were sold. Some were head mounts of deer & antelope, some were complete animals like a fox, badger, & turkey.
The only one that had a restriction was a black bear, & that restriction was that the paper that came with the bear stated that it can't leave the state of Kansas.

Buddy sold a couple mounts he had, GW showed up and wrote him a couple of citations and advised him it was illegal to sell them in Oklahoma.

Yep. That's what a GW said several years ago about mounts listed on Craigslist.

There was a Axis deer mount listed on there earlier this week.

Ok,
So the next question on my mind,
WHY is it illegal to sell mounts in Oklahoma?
The animal has previously been tagged & paid for. The state organizations already got their money out of it, why is it illegal for the person clear space on the wall and sell a couple of mounts?
