I'm having no problem finding capes. My bottleneck is finding antlers. If you want to give me a set of antlers (not legal for me to buy them) I will mount him and send you lots of pictures. Cool thing is I get more experience and you get some new pictures of a deer you shot in the past.
I've mounted quit a few of these - I call them my rescue bucks. My last one was an 8 year old set of antlers mounted on a 4 year old cape.
The antlers were all but lost in a storage shed and the cape was on the verge being too freezer burnt to be saved - but here he is - my rescue buck #4.
My wife hates all things taxidermy and hunting but even she likes my rescue bucks - she recognizes that these capes and antlers were destined to be trash but now they will be admired for decades to come.
What a crime it would have been for this rack and this cape to have been lost.

Hey bot, I might have a few to donate. PM me if you're local to me. You didn't specify where you're located...
