That is a really nice rack. Wish we had more those around here were I live. We see that kinda rack once in a blue moon!
As far as mounting it goes, if the shot placement "neck shot" ruined any chance of mounting it using the original cape he can always find another cape for it if he wanted to. You want to cut the rack off like that so the taxi knows were to set the horns.
I would have like to have seen the deer that rack was on, must of been a monster!
