Default Where to get a cape online? oR anywhere for that matter.

I have been looking into getting into taxidermy for a long time. I have a catolog for ordering anything you can think of pretty much (WASCO) and I was wondering if there is anywhere online, or out of a catolog that you could order a cape. Also, what kind of price range would I be looking at? I have a couple bucks that I shot this year that I was going to do plaque mounts with, so I didn't save the capes. And now that it comes to it, I want to do shoulder mounts. They aren't huge deer, 2 1/2.

I think it would be a perfect oppourtunity to get into it, and get my foot in the door. I have been thinking about getting out of the job I am at now, but would be willing to put up with it as long as I have to (I am sure for years to come).

Thanks for any help, and sorry for the rambling post
