Repair holes in the cape from broadheads, bullets, or slugs are repairable, but there is no guarantee that they will not be seen. If you drag the hair off of the cape, it can not be fixed and must be replaced for mounting, no exceptions. The photo shows a typical drag mark that has ruined the cape.
NOTE: You CAN NOT use a doe cape to replace a buck cape!!
If you have a large bodied buck, your cape will need to be large as well to fit the antler burrs. Large capes are EXPENSIVE!!.
DO NOT- SKIN OR GUT ANY MAMMAL, FISH OR TURKEY PRIOR TO DROP OFF
THIS DOES NOT PERTAIN TO SHOULDER MOUNTS
Please consider measuring your fish, length and girth, take a couple of pictures, then release it. I have changed my skin mount prices to the same as my reproduction prices for this reason. I will do your skin mount if you've already killed the fish, but skin mounts come with flaws that sometimes can't be fixed. A skin mount never looks as good as a reproduction and is prone to shrinkage, which causes wrinkling of the skin. Please consider a reproduction mount of your catch.
It will last forever and will never have any shrinkage, bugs or any problems that sometimes plague skin mounts, and, you'll be keeping the fish alive to be caught another day and to continue to make little fish!!
