I love that buck, lots of charecter!! Mount looks nice!

I only have one, this was done by Buzz Cook in '89. He worked extra hard to save it because of circumstances I won't mention, but no fault of my own. I offered to pay extra for his efforts but he refused to accept any more than the quoted price when I brought it in. That is someone that you like doing business with and the reason he is so busy. I got this "Blacktail" on the late hunt in '89. I posted this previously in another thread.

This buck was killed on the YTC last Nov and mounted locally by someone that actually charges there customers for this kind of work. The mount was finished and at the Central WA Sportsmans Show 2 1/2 months later. He is an awesome buck with a 31+" outside spread and scores 160+. What a shame.

WOW! That is major acid rot!! Did you still want to find a cape for your goat??

[stumprat]

Yes I do. But my oldest graduates high school this June and the wife says I've waited this long, next winter won't kill me. I still want you to do it. What a shame 9 1/4" horns. Almost hate looking at it.

I figured something came up  That is a waist, goes to show what shortcut Taxidermy can do! There is more to taxidermy than just throwing a cape on a form and sewing it up, alot more. Tanning is a whole nother ballgame in itself as you can see with you Mountain goat. Thats an alum tan that wasnt properly neutralized more than likely. Too bad.

Should I glue it till I get it fixed. Or leave it alone?
