Conflatulation!

His freaking neck is huge.  Nice rack, hope your mt. is worth the wait.  Seem's like the longer you wait patientlly, the better they turn out.  PS> most of the time.

 Should be a great mount, thanks all. Little FYI too, I took it to Stewart's for processing and had carefully cut the cape around the front haunches, so all they had to do was peel a little back off the neck, hide intact. I told them several times that I was doing a shoulder mount as soon as I walked in the door. Before I realized what they were doing, they made a slit up the FRONT of the cape
I had to pay an extra $75 to the taxidermist to repair the damage.

Ouch....a slit up the front of the neck.  I would've gone ape sh.t!     Your Taxi assured you he could fix it?  That was an awesome Blacktail....look forward to seeing it done.

 Peters Taxidermy (in Graham) does great work, they take for frigging ever, but it's worth it. If anyone can fix it, I think they can (I hope).

[Michelle_Nelson]

It can be fixed.  Takes a little more time to repair so it won't show.
