And in reference to your last comment you can still cape your animal even if you do not plan to mount it, someone else may need a cape, or you can give it to your local taxidermist and they can use it if needed.
Out of all of the comments that people post on this site these are the ones that cause you to rant?

I agree. If someone doesn't want to mount their animal, who cares? I don't get why some people always seem to complain about that. One thing to consider- how many people have an extra $1000 laying around to spend on an elk head? I know I don't. If I ever kill a big bull, I will be doing a Euro.:yeah:

Just remembered something- couple years ago I posted on here that if I was lucky and drew a sheep permit in this state, that I wasn't planning on having the head mounted. :yike:
Wow!

I would hope you'd at least save the cape off of it, they are not only worth good money but to someone who needs a cape for their once in a lifetime kill, but somehow ruined theirs, its worth its weight in gold.
I've always said anything but a lifesize on a ram or goat is a waste but obviously not everyone agrees.
Preserving a true trophy is worth the money to me, whether I have the money or not, I'll find a way. But, to each their own... makes no difference to me.

I agree. My goat is at the taxidermist as we speak.

I don't get it :dunno:
It's your choice to do with an animal what you want but I think that it's pretty much a given fact that Barry O is the best president ever.

5-6 Mt. Goat hides, and some bear hides laying around. I have 2 coastal brownies that I prepped for full body mounts if I ever have an extra $5000+ laying around ...
I was at a guys house the other day with some phenomenal animals on the wall. He shot one this year I would have mounted but just hacked out the skull cap because he has no more need of another mount and did not want to take the time and effort to cape it properly.

Seems that a lot of members on here are always concerned about why someone didn't cape out a trophy bull or buck. What does it matter to anyone except for the person that shot the animal? How bout we just congratulate them on a successful hunt and a great animal, instead of possibly making them feel bad that they screwed up by not capping it out or making them second guess their decision. Many people don't have room for such a mount. Just a little rant.Thats because that's all they care about. Filling the tag isn't important, it's gotta be a trophy and it's gotta go on the wall.
