Selling Capes
I pulled into Sonic for some lunch and the guy next to me had a nice 12 point on the back of his truck. I got out and inspected the deer and to here the story. It was easy for me to tell that he really didn't know much about bow hunting and I saw that he had shot the buck in the butt(I was surprised he found him). Anyway, he had taken and cut the bucks neck clean across. I informed him that he could not get the deer mounted using that cape. I gave him my number and I told him if I took a nice buck during rifle season I would sell him my cape. I have often sold my capes to taxidermists around my area and I have received up to $75 dollars for some of them. I was just wondering if many of you sell your capes off your big deer (if you don't mount him) or just throw them away?
