Free: Contests & Raffles.
It's finally time to get my deer out of the freezer and do something with it.It was shot on Oct 17th. Head and cape was put into the freezer within about 18 hours. Originally I’d planned to do a European mount due to cost. However, due to an early Christmas present, now I can afford a shoulder mount.I probably should have folded the cape better, but the cape and the head froze quickly. It’s been almost two months, has he been in the freezer too long to get a shoulder mount done?
I think I may have gone too far up the chest while cleaning and skinning. How much of a problem is this? Is it just that a more visible "seam" will be there? It is important to me to use the cape from my deer for the mount since it is my first one.
I think I probably just need to go sit down and figure all this out with a local taxidermist. I live in Bellingham, I'm willing to drive a couple hours to get this done right Suggestions on local taxidermists?Thanks!
