Moose cape

[PA BEN]

I was at my taxidermist yesterday checking on my moose mount and she had a old moose mount on the wall. It hangs in the ski lodge at 49 degrees north ski hill. She looking for a new cape to put on it. If anybody has one let me know. She said, buy or trade for taxidermy work.

If she is looking for a Shires Moose I have one.  Doubt she will wanna pay me what I want for it.  Would kinda like to save it for one of my customers.

[PA BEN]

I'll shoot you a PM with her info.

Thats a couple more I found.

Looks like the recession has hit.   I guess I should have sold that one in the freezer when I could.

[bucklucky]

Looks like a big alaskan would get that kind of cash!

One thing I still regret, but sure that would have been the straw that broke this camels back.  That was such an awesome cape and had a huge bell, which most AKs don't as they typically freeze off I guess.  Talk about a big sumbitch.
