Here is a blacktail that was cut way wrong, and instead of buying a new cape the customer decided to pay for the fix instead and use the origional. It was a wash either way, I charge  $5.00 an inch for repair work and this had 27 inches so $135.00 and a cape is usually around that price. All in all the fix turned out pretty good. There was a couple spots that the hair was shaved pretty badly, so I trimmed it as far as I could but still showed in a couple spots.

Is the taste of the bait worth the sting of the hook twice?

They split the brisket and than tried to cut it on the front of the leg instead of the back?
