Cape needed
« on: December 27, 2022, 01:12:51 PM »
This feels like a long shot but do any of you know where I can purchase a bull elk cape?  Here's the kicker though.  The bull my friend shot is somewhat non typical and really unique.  The hair under the antlers was very curly and different that what I have ever seen and would like to replicate it if possible.  If any of you taxidermists can help, please send me a PM.  I will also need someone to mount it.

A pic would help with determining what you are wanting  :twocents:

Almost every bull I've seen bigger than a rag had hair like you're describing around the peticles. That shouldn't be an issue. Also, most taxi's I know have extra elk hides or can easily obtain them.

get the best cape you can find and super glue some horse hair to the base, then curl it with a curling iron.

Another thing to think about is if it's a Roosevelt or Rocky Mountain, you're probably going to want the same.
