Caping for a shoulder mount
1. With a sharp knife slit the hide circling the body behind the shoulder at approximately the mid-way
point of the rib cage behind the front legs. Slit the skin around the legs just above the knees. An
additional slit will be needed from the back of the legs (Figure 2A and 2B). 2. Peel the skin forward up
to the ears and jaw exposing the head / neck junction. Cut into the neck approximately three inches
down from this junction, Circle the neck cutting down to the spinal column. After this cut is complete,
grasp the antler bases and twist the head off the neck. This should allow the hide to be rolled up and
put in a freezer until transported to the taxidermist. These cuts should allow ample hide fro the
taxidermist to work with mounting. Remember, the taxidermist can cut off excess hide but can't add
what he doesn't have. When field dressing a trophy to be mounted, don't cut into the brisket (chest) or
neck area if blood gets on the hide to be mounted, wash it off with snow or water as soon as possible.
Also avoid dragging the deer out of the woods with a rope. Place it on a sled, rickshaw, or 4-wheeler.
The rope, rocks or a broken branch can easily damage the fur or puncture the hide. If you need to drag
it out with a rope, attach the rope to the base of the antlers and drag your trophy carefully.
It is very important to get your trophy into the freezer as quickly as possible if you cannot take it
directly to the taxidermist. Freezing stops bacteria growth which can cause slippage (hair falling out).
If you're worried about caping
your deer, let us do it for you.
We cape at no additional
charge! Many taxidermists and
processors charge extra for
this service, but in order to
serve you better and ensure
that we have the right amount
of cape, we provide this
service free of charge as long
as we are available to do so.
