Here' s a question that I need some ideas on.

In 2002 I shot a 10 pointer that I roughed scored at 130 that is absolutely beautiful. It only had 1 1/2" of deductions.

Anyways, I wasn' t able to bring the cape home because it was way too warm and when I got home I had no storage for it. I came home on a Sunday and left town that night for business.

So, I' ve mounted the antlers on a nice piece of wood and got a brass engraved plate for it.

It really is beautiful and I' m kicking myself that I didn' t bring it to a taxidermist. I am fairly certain that any cape could be used (say from this year' s hunt ), but the main question I have is if I do this, will I look at the mount and always know that it isn' t the true cape.

If I spend all this money and I' m not happy, what' s the point?

Anybody else tried it? What do you think when you look at it?

Thanks,

Mike
