Title: Idaho mule deer uro
Post by: sklopp93 on December 13, 2016, 08:41:43 PM
This is my 2016 Idaho mule deer. I Did a European mount until I can afford to have a shoulder mount done

Very cool!  That's what I do.
 Euro it out myself and put the cape in the freezer.  I usually cape out my deer and save the capes until I have enough of them to trade to a taxi for some credit.  Then I dig out the euro and the capes and drop them off along with some cash, pay off the balance when the work is done.   :tup:
That's a great buck by the way.  Special draw, or general hunt?

Pathfinder 101, this was a general tag on state land in south east idaho. My buddy killed a nice buck as well bigger than the one I killed. You can find his buck on the 5 point blacktail/mule deer post under deer hunting. Page 25 bales959

Pathfinder101 I would strongly recommend hunting idaho. Ive been hunting there for the last six years and I love it. That was my first mule deer hunt in Idaho, I always hunted whitetails before. It's a blast and beautiful country

 Much easier and saves freezer space if you just give the capes to the taxi each year and run up a credit. It also prevents the occasional catastrophe of freezer burn or power outage that results in lost capes.

 Of course you need to find a reputable taxi that you trust to be in business long enough for you to eventually cash in, but I think there are plenty of those on this site alone. ;) :twocents:

 Another good option is to give it to the taxi right away and have it tanned, then just hang it for later.

 Looks good sklop, love those skull hookers :tup:

That's creepy Phool.  It's like you are spying on my house.  This summer when I was in Alaska our freezer burned out and when I got home my wife had thrown out 2 mule deer capes... :yike:

I have ahd bad luck with taxidermists though.  The first one I did this with took 5 years to finish my deer (turned out great though... no complaints with the work).  The last one finished up the job in a year (also a great job), but closed up his shop and moved to Arizona.

...maybe I should start paying full price... ;)
