how long do you think would be ok to leave a deer head and cape in the freezer before taking it for a shoulder mount? im hoping i havent ruined mine []

If you have it wrapped up you can leave it a year or more. The problem is most freezers suck the moisture out and the ears and nose get freezer burned easily. Call your taxidermist and ask him to take a look at it. He probably has spare capes if it is too late. How long has it been there?

well its been since november 24, its in a big trashbag thats tied at the top...

Cougars ... I just called my taxidermist .... take it in as soon as possible .... he said you should be ok ....

thanks a ton, i called a taxi today for a price, i think ill be taking it soon....

I was told to wrap my buck's ears, nose, (pretty much theentire face) in towels and then bag it. That would supposedly prevent freezer burn.

Your taxi shouldn't expect the full amount up front, just a down payment. Get it in as soon as possible so you get it back sooner.

You are fine, should be in good shape. Hope your mount looks great when you get it back.

thanks guys!! i am taking it very soon, i dont know if i want to do a semi sneak or just like an alert mount.
