This is certainly an area of concern, my taxi tells me of horror storys of how mounts are ruined before he even gets his hands on some. The buck of mine in the pic is an example. I normally cape my own out, and give the taxi the whole hide as Jeff mentioned. However i let a prosessing place cape this one for me, and it dam near cost me a good mount. They actually cut off a piece in the lower brisket area that was missing completly. The taxi said this was the only form pose he could use the hide on, to get the brisket area pulled enough over the form, since the head and neck were down. I will never let anyone cape mine anymore!!
