Better yet tube the buck out with NO cuts and let the taxidermist make the cuts. No doubt it’s harder getting the hide over the front shoulders but my taxidermist appreciates this.
Hey Daniel, that's good to know if I ever get to hunt and fill my tag again. Like I told you 2 videos ago, you will get your buck. Congratulations on a nice buck. Love your channel and videos. Take care and be safe. Also, if you do any more hunting, best of luck to you.
@@thecedarridgechroniclesCan you make a video about how to prepare the hide after caping it from it being on the deer to being ready to put on the mannequin

Great information! Thanks I have question for you if you have time. Can I take out my deer cape that’s in the freezer work on it for awhile then refreeze it till I get my form? Any help would be greatly appreciated
Daniel- I kind of messed up. Shot a buck and due to time restraints and distance we were from the house, I capped the deer our and skinned the head without getting measurements. I had the skull and was able to measure from the eye to the tip of the nose plate and it was 7 1/2 inches. How much should I add to that measurement to account for the actual hide and nose? Also, the buck was a 250lb live weight Iowa deer, with the biggest neck I have ever seen. However just measuring the skinned skull and neck, I got 16-18" neck measurements. How much should I add on to the neck to account for the hide? I am afraid that if I order too small of a form, it wont look right, but too big of a mold and the hide wont fit. Any help would be appriciated!
So can I thaw it out, measure and refreeze? Its currently in the freezer now. The problem I will run into is if I thaw it out, I still have to order the form and wait for it to be delivered.

That’s definitely best case scenario, but the average deer hunter has zero patience trying to tube the arm pits and usually do more harm than good lol
You are the man! Thank you for your time and GOD bless you! Congratulations on that great buck! Steve

Really enjoy your content. I’ve learned a lot from your videos and am thinking about trying to tackle my first mounting on one of my own deer.
You got this!

Yes you can
Question on old video of you sewing back of head up. Do you not glue under where you stitched up
On the old videos I used to put glue on the form then try to stitch. Now I add it under the stitch as I go. Way easier

You’re better off using the skinned cape anyway. This will show you how

@chrisd1509 yes you can
Thank you so much!
That’s a lot of hide to flesh out . Are do you cut it yourself before you tan it?
I’ll tan everything I cape off then trim after I have it in the form
is amy mounting it for you
No I am a taxidermist myself. 👍
I watch your videos you do a good jod@@thecedarridgechronicles
So many amateurs out there Dan...I just rather them bring them to me...lost a bunch of jobs due to trashed capes!
