John,
I have a related question for you since you're a taxidermist........

The cape obviously has that short early fall gray hair and I was concerned about the compatibility of the cape with the form that I chose. Not so much that it will fit, The fit should be fine, but more the "Appropriateness" of the style of the form to the cape.
Meaning did I choose something with a little too much muscle or form defintion for such a short haired early season cape? Is there too much neck swell for an early season mount to make sense? After I thought about it, I want the animal to have a mature look but I also don't want something that looks "full rut" on a cape from Oct 1st.
Here's the form I went with because I loved the pose and this line of forms came highly recommended and it's hard for me to tell if it's going to be a good match. You should have a better eye for that than I do.
