The 1st picture shows the damage done by a bullet and poor skinning.

The 2nd and 3rd pictures show what can be done to cover up the damage.

It's cheaper than a new cape and you end up with a one of a kind mount.

So don't be so quick to toss your cape. Talk to your taxidermist for different options. You might be suprised.

Nice work

Been their done that and got the T-Shirt.  :tup: Nice work Elkstuffer!  Sometimes repairs like that actually make the mount more ejoyable because it is a change in the every day shoulder mount.

Damn nice work, looks great.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
