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
Very cool! Thanks sklopp, I am kicking around the idea of hunting Idaho next season.

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... ;)
