If you can find a book called "Preparing Fish & wild Game" there is a very good chapter that covers butcher deer. Lots of good picatures. It is very close to the methods I learned from my dad. There are also a lot of good recipes.

Yeah dragging an animal that you want to have mounted is not the best idea.  Otherwise you could end up with a couple bald spots or some spots with some pretty damaged hair.

Hey thanks Michelle this is much simpler than what I had first thought. Hopefully I'll get a nice one this season.

I wanted to try the gutless method on my buck this year. A video by Ryan newberg shows splitting the hide down the back bone. Is that acceptable for caping out a deer?

There is a video on YouTube. That covers gutless method in prep for taxi.  I will try and find and post shortly.

Edit: Yeah it was Randy newberg that did the video I was thinking of..

Mtaylor, some taxidermist prefer a short clean cut down the back of the neck (7"-8" from back of skull down the neck), me personally, I just cut them all the way down past the shoulders. Gutless method works great for me. Be best to ask your taxidermist as far as the cape goes.
We give your trophy that final compliment!

Hey thanks guys. I probably will not be shooting anything to hang on my wall this year but I was hoping if he was the right color, size, ect. That I could get a few $$ out of the cape.

Thanks again!!
