livbucks,
no offense was taken, just wasn't sure what you were seeing. pic. was to dark, there is a seperation between the leg hairs, just can't see from pics. this cape was taken from a 2005 montana whitetail. the original buck had a reddish color summer cape. and was shot during rifle season. the reason for the skinny neck is the owner doesn't like the swell neck mounts. so to please him i used a 19" cape. i think it does need a 22" or bigger cape, but it is what the customer wants.
oh and the horn color, he was living in the plains right in the same area as muleys, so he rubbed lots of sage and ceder trees. as for the dark horn color.
