Title: Anyone need a Black Tail Cape
Post by: cohoho on November 16, 2007, 05:22:04 PM: Finally got a Washington Blacktail yesterday, a 2 X 2, caped it out just cause that is what I do. Does anyone need a cape? Give me a shout. It needs a final fleshing, but I will salt it down and put in the freezer in the morning. I do a pretty dare good job on caping, so if you need one give me a call, it's yours FREE, unless your a Taxidermist then maybe a credit towrds something in the future. I'll keep it about a week before I chuck it out. Mike

Salt is only to be used after fleshing and turning of the lips ears eyes and nose , then it needs to be dried and sent to the tannery or stored in a humidity controlled environment. I need capes but I know that Michelle Nelson needed some more than me. We are both taxidermists.
