I was going to do a euro mount but they freak me out and I hear I can get a cape and it shoulder mounted. I am a little torn its not my deers cape and his face was old, short and grey and red skull cap.
what would you guys do?
Do like an uncle of mine did; he always caped deer because he could get more for the cape than the entire hide. At the time $3.00 for the entire hide versus $12.50 for the cape. Do what you like with the rest of the hide. Fly tiers will love getting it.
