Default Caping a deer...

I harvested a buck that I am considering getting mounted. We process allour deer ourselves, so I will have to cape it out myself. I have never done this before, neither have any of my buddys. I got some directions online and it seems pretty straight forward.

Are there any things I should be aware of or extra precautions to take before doing this? How difficult is this process for a first timer? Should I just take it somewhere and have them do it? I was considering doing this, but like I said, we like to process them oursleves so I think it would be more of a pain getting it caped somewhere then bring it back to be processed. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

P.S. Anyone know a good taxidermist around Mid-Michigan?
