[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1371657, member: 5412"] And now you have an animal down in the field, and want to have a wall mount. How do you prepare it? In my area, the one I've taken to mount have been caped by the processor. In the field after shooting one, I do not cut above the sternum. If you do, the mount is ruined unless wanting to pay for a new cape. Field dress from the rear to the ribcage and dig out the lungs and heart. If the processor will cape it, let them do it. they will cape it with the front legs and chest intact. If you have room and don't have a taxidermist nearby, freeze the head and cape. Make sure its dry. Water on the cape and not frozen will cause the hair to fall out later. Take it to the taxidermist, and its theirs from then on. [/QUOTE]
