PSA:
We can’t stress enough the following 👇🏼
1. When you get an animal you want to mount please take care of the hide until it get to us and get to us as soon as you can
-Dragging deer excessively will cause burns to hair that we can’t fix
-hanging for days by legs will allow all the blood to flow into and swell the head (cause slippage and possibly a unmountable cape)
-soaking a hide with water is the worst thing for a cape you want to mount. Keep hides cold and dry until you can get them to us. Caped in a freezer is the best but a dry cooler is okay for a day or two (not two weeks)

2. Caping your own deer isn’t hard but you can cut them up bad enough making it hard to pick certain forms or hard for us to even mount due to all the damage.

Use the Photo reference below as a guide when caping your deer for a mount! Also there are so many great YouTube videos that can help.
