As for the cape you got, while it may not be yours, it doesn't appear to me to be that small. When you choose a pose where the deer's neck is stretched upright like a giraffe it's not going to look as big as it did scrunched down in the back of a pickup. The cape you received is definitely larger than any doe I have ever seen...ever. It is a buck cape, and I would guess probably about average size for a mature deer. Magis is right on, I would be way less worried about the color and size of the cape, and way more worried about the rest of that travesty someone calls a deer mount. Sometimes it takes getting burned to realize there are differences from one taxidermy shop to another.

Its small trust me I have a 13 point right next to it and when I look at this 8 its a shame,was never scrunched in the back of any pick up,it was a buck in full rut.I didn't really get burned I only paid 150.00 to try to answer some of the other questions I am not going to bother trying to get a refund and the cape is already been put on another buck,i am just glad it wasn't a monster buck from now on I will be paying a higher price for a better quality mount.
