Oh... just an FYI, just in case. May not be necessary, but after seeing "I'm taking him to the taxi later this week"...

Make sure you're keeping him in a freezer somewhere. Hopefully, you did that the second you caped him out. In temps over 65 degrees, they'll start "slipping" (the hair will start coming loose easily) REAL easily and your beautiful early season cape will be ruined.

Congrats on a great buck!! He will make a great mount, and you should be in the front of the line too.
