Well thanks for the comment AllTLK4. It's new to me and it's something I've wanted to do since I was 10. 43 I didn't even notice the ear bases. I looked at my mounts I have and yup bases are too small. Lesson learned for next time. I'm hooked though and have another big 8 pt i shot in MN and are gonna mount him next. Wheres the best place to find capes like lets say MN. I know how to tan hides but don't have any right now.

Once I get better I have 6 yotes and a 45 lbs bobcat tanned I shot in CO when I was stationed there to mount. But I don't wanna attempt it until I gedt better.
