Title: kinda a dumb Q
Post by: hoyt2002 on August 03, 2010, 11:12:53 AM: I got a big buck i killed years back and couldn't afford a mount. I've never had one mounted so i know nothing about it. Do most taxidermist have extra hides you can buy and have a mount done with your horns??

Post by: Sumpnneedskillin on August 03, 2010, 01:23:19 PM: Yes....I messed my cape up. :'( Bought a cape from a buddy (he was going to sell it to a taxi). Took my head and the cape in. The taxi asked me would I be willing to use one of his "reserve" capes. He said that I wouldn't have to wait for it for it to come back from the tannery. He could start sooner. Told him heck yeah.

Seems he had about 4-6 reserve capes that he liked to rotate out to them keep fresh. We went into the back room and looked and found one almost identical (similar color and shading) to my buck. The mount turned out great.
