• Do not cut above the front legs when field dressing your trophy.
  • Cape animal from mid-body forward.  Extra cape is needed if wanting pedestal mounts.
  • Keep animal cool and dry and deliver to taxidermist or meat processor as soon as possible for caping.
  • Capes should only be salted if : they are skinned off the skull, eyes, lips, and ears have been turned, and all excess meat has been removed from the hide.  If unable to do this, the cape must be kept frozen.
  • Contact your guide/outfitter ahead of time to discuss the care of your trophy while in camp.
  • Skull plates may be split for easier transportation/shipping.
  • Please contact us with any questions pertaining to the field preparation of your trophy.
