Boy Bone, it's too bad you don't have any decent animals in your shop to work on.

Well if it don't fit there is always the fun of doing the modifications to the form, that is almost as fun as running with a sharp pencil and tripping
.. LOL
Cape should be fine, did you get it shaved down good??

I would just assume it fit.
It was close, and lost more hair than I like to in the tanning process. Nothing bad. Mostly it was the matter of it being 90 degrees on the day I packed him out and then the trek home. I salted the crap out of it, but would have liked to have had less meat and stuff still on the cape. It was a matter of what was more important, get the meat out and on ice and get headed for home, or do a perfect job on the cape. I had thought about doing a full mount. YEAH RIGHT. We'll see. I'll probably be wishing I had filled a couple of my elk tags this last fall. If I remeber right, I might have one spare cape in the freezer but it will be smaller.

I've been dreaming about Utah, so maybe thats a good omen. We'll find out here in about a month. I'm behind in the points game since they just opened it up and I am in for deer in the Henrys along with a million others......fingers crossed.

Good luck on the draw.
Do you have the link to your other bucks and bull stories you mentioned - I wasn't able to find them (haven't looked very hard). The only one I followed were the tag you had this year (entiat or up that way).
