Title: Moose cape
Post by: PA BEN on August 07, 2009, 04:07:15 PM: I was at my taxidermist yesterday checking on my moose mount and she had a old moose mount on the wall. It hangs in the ski lodge at 49 degrees north ski hill. She looking for a new cape to put on it. If anybody has one let me know. She said, buy or trade for taxidermy work.

Post by: boneaddict on August 13, 2009, 08:40:07 AM: One thing I still regret, but sure that would have been the straw that broke this camels back. That was such an awesome cape and had a huge bell, which most AKs don't as they typically freeze off I guess. Talk about a big sumbitch.
