Default Deer head put in freezer for 2 years

Hey guys I'm kind of embarrassed about this but I shot a buck 2 Novembers ago and I had to go straight back to college from my property so my dad put my deer head and cape in the freezer when he got home and I have not really touched it since then. Would I still be able to get it mounted? I'm almost positive he did not put any effort into wrapping it up well in the garbage bag it's in. Any help would be appreciated. Would mean alot if I could get this thing hung.

Take it to a taxidermist and ask them if it is still good. No one can answer your question sight unseen.

Yep, that's a question that can't be answered on the internet!

Good luck! If the cape isn't able to be salvaged, a good taxidermist will usually either have an extra cape or two around or be able to get one. Ask about doing that if he says yours is no good.
