OK. It's Saturday am on a 3 day hunt. I just took a nice buck but I'm 3 days away from coming home. I want to have a shoulder mount done perhaps. How do I keep the cape in good enough shape until I can get it to one of you? Or a out of state hunt? I think I've learned enough to leave more hide than I think and to cut up to the base of the antlers, etc. But I do not think I'd trust myself to flesh out the lips and turn the ears decent enough not to ruin it.
Way too many variables on this question. You'll have to be more specific on the scenario with time of year, weather, whether your in 10 miles or hunting from the truck. Is there a town close with a cooler. Did you bring a small chest freezer to plug into a generator to keep it frozen

Is it snowing, is it 90 degrees. Do you have a nice cold stream near by. Are you in the middle of the nevada desert .
