Guest HAWG Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Two years ago i shot a 165 in buck. I didnt have the money to get it mounted at the time. How do i go about getting a cape for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamphunter Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Re: need a deer cape Usually your taxidermist will have one that he will charge you a bit for. My brother bought one a few years back and the taxidermist charged him I think $50.00?? Check with him though. Bring a pic of the deer in with you so he can find one close in color and size.

rifleman25 Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Re: need a deer cape I'm with swamphunter. I have a few mounts and only one is the original cape. I always forget to quit cutting when I gut 'em and I like to shoot for the neck too. My taxi charges 40-60 dollars depending on the cape. They are usually already tanned so he will work on those wile he waits for the others to come back from the tannery. One advantage I guess. Show us some pics when he's done with it.

artisticwhitetails Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Re: need a deer cape Monster bucks need monster capes and this time of year, big clean capes are very expensive. You've waited this long so I would just wait till hunting season, then hang out at the local processor or at some hunting clubs till you can find the cape you want for free. Capes are sold by size, quality, tanned, green, ect, so a 23" tanned no damaged cape could cost you almost as much as the mount itself. Something to think about. Oh, you can check ebay if you want, always capes on there for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whttlbucksteve Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Re: need a deer cape you can also check out EBAY there are some there sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryland_Bowhunter Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Re: need a deer cape You really can't trust ebay . You dopn't know if the cape was skinned out right . Your best bet is to find one from a taxi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTF Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Re: need a deer cape A monster cape will run you about $100.00 or more. Check the users feedback at ebay before buying. There is a lot of good guys selling capes that wont screw you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
