Taned cape worth?

[Dopler]

How much is a mature tanned cape worth from a mature whitetail?

Depends on a lot of things. What are the measurements (neck)? Long haired or short haired? Professionally tanned? What is the cape quality? Southern or Northern deer? Also depends on what time of year you are selling it. For example around this time of year, it might not be worth as much because it is deer season and taxidermist don't have as hard of a time getting replacement capes...unless it is an odd or rare size.

But to give you a general idea, if you have a good quality cape from a 3 1/2 year northern buck professionally tanned, it could sell between $100 - $150. This is just a general idea, like I said, there are too many variable to give an exact amount.

Age of the cape makes a big difference as well. Freshly tanned capes are nice, but as they age they become extremely difficult to work with, and sometimes become useless.
