ANd then to the cape prep, I did not take any pictures as I had my hands full with the Prior Taxidermists (straight arrow Taxidermy)  hack job of a capping job. I figured the dude could at least cape an animal correctly ...... boy was I wrong . Holes everywhere, ears were not turned the ;last inch and a half to 2 inches, tear ducts cut out, nasal wings cut out ..... juat crap but I worked through it . So now its mounted and drying. Now off to the next big projects ...... 2 bobcats and a lifesize couger with a few deer heads thrown in before I get to the september elk mounts  :drool: ANd no Im not skipping anyone  :chuckle: Now ajustments for the next couplew of days to get everything just right.

Wow Charlie.  I didn't even know stuff like that could be fixed (ears, tear ducts..etc..).  Nice job. :tup:

That is going to look amazing when it's done.  Wish I would have paid the extra and took my blacktail to one of the taxidermists on this site. >:(  You all do really great work.
