HOW TO CAPE A DEER FOR A SHOULDER MOUNT. GO FOR IT!!!

[@freedomisntfree9525]

This is a great video. I am in the last week of deer season in NW Florida and I've been hunting a huge buck that is one of the biggest bucks I 've seen here. If I harvest it, I'd definitely want a shoulder mount and I realized now is the time to learn how to do it right. Thank you for your simple, straight forward instructions.

[@Vtgreatoutdoors]

Your the guy that taught my bow course and also btw I got a doe this year with my bow compound bow and I’m 12

[@mtndeer]

Awesome. Congrats on your success. See a lot of deer in your future.

[@remingtonsmith734]

@@mtndeer lol I shot. 3 does this season and they all didn’t die hit them all perfect lungshot

[@tonymessina2417]

Thank you for this! I've always been told not to cut up the front legs like that, but have also been told the taxidermist is going to do that anyways.

[@SFD-Horses]

Thank you for this video you made so many years ago... I should invest in a sled, but they are few and far in between here in central NC... lol Anyway I plan to cape my next one myself so I thank you again for the video. Very informative!

[@Hasselhoff25816]

Watched many videos on this subject and this is the most helpful one yet. Hope to put these skills to the test this evening on the biggest 5x4 I've ever seen!

[@mxgangrel]

Thanks. That was very helpful. I wish you wouldn't have cut out so many parts in the middle like how you actually wanted some of that peeled off after you cut down the arms, and how you actually cut the head off, but still one of the better videos I've seen so far. Thanks.

[@guard099]

Best video ive seen on here for caping ..Thank you

[@xkoldfuzionx]

Just got my first wall hanger and looking forward to getting it mounted. Thanks so much for the great instruction! Appreciate you, brother!

[@xkoldfuzionx]

As an update, it went great! This was pretty much the way I did it before, but your instruction showed a slightly different way of changing things up which actually sped up the process. Thank you again for sharing this content!

[@TheKingsOutlaw]

Great video, thanks! I love the new vocabulary word, too! Skun.

What an excellent resource. Thanks for posting this Probono 😎 I'll be using this information in the near future so I dont have to European mount all of my skulls. Thanks again. I've subscribed to your channel as payment for the DIY info

Great explanation. Well done

[@lanet.2934]

Hey I got a 11 point buck I got with my bow, and it was cut a little to far up the back neck 3 inches to the ears in a straight cut is there any chance of a fix? Since it was my first and biggest deer with a bow.

[@cbl0325]

Do you need to lay the cape in any way when putting it in the freezer to avoid it sticking to itself or other issues? Or just pile it up randomly?

[@adudeuknow]

@@joshbostwick123 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@codywschroeder]

You mentioned keeping the cape clean. Especially the white areas. What do you clean it with? Great video!

[@mtndeer]

Don’t drag it in the dirt, white blob off and dry

thanks 4 the video. very helpful

[@bpdispatch6433]

Great video, thank you

[@stephencorleymississippili4007]

I killed my first trophy buck Thanksgiving day. While skinning it, my knife kept getting coated with fat. This caused it to appear dull. When I washed it off, it was just as sharp as when I started. I had to wash the fat off of it numerous times. What can I do to prevent this from happening again?

[@mtndeer]

Try using the tip more, knuckle the hide down if you can. pretty and sharp are two different things.

[@paparomesoutdoors711]

Good video very well put together

[@HiNinqi]

He's so handsome (*_*) I'd go hunting every weekend just to have an excuse to come 'round the taxidermist.

[@Wtz-jx3wh]

hey rodney could you do a video on how to treat a deer in velvet if you want it mounted, I'm about 3 hours south of you so it wouldn't be till the next day until i could drop it off to you. and with deer season right around the corner i want to know what you want done to it since I'm gonna start bring all my taxidermy work to you, and i passed up a buck in velvet last year on the first day since i didn't know what to do and where to bring it. I've had a couple bad experiences with dave taxidermy in weare, nh and others in southern nh. I've heard about the formaldehyde injections but thought it might be a good video for others to watch as well

[@mtndeer]

Best thing to do when you get one is cape it, leave the head in it and stick the whole thing in a freezer. Anything you ever want to have mounted be very careful with it and get it in a freezer as soon as you can. Another thing is don’t drag the deer by the antlers when they are in velvet you can ruin them and pull the velvet right off.

[@Wtz-jx3wh]

okay thank you

[@JohnnyDragon25]

hey bud. when you said if you wanted to tan the hide you should freeze it?...why is that. I'm new to tanning hides. thought it has to go into water to soak...

[@JohnnyDragon25]

Ok cool. Is this done so you can go back to it later and flesh it or should you do that before you freeze it? I'm going to try the Alum tanning method first then brain tanning.

[@mtndeer]

The ticks and fleas , especially moose and bobcats, foxes , woodchucks and wingless flies (cadids),(Deer) freezing a good three weeks for fleas.

I live in Vermont shot a big buck this year

[@MRBONEZ-vz2vs]

Noice. BTW have you ever seen an albino deer? If so don’t shoot it, and please don’t shoot the one in my yard. If that is you ever come to where I live.

[@MRBONEZ-vz2vs]

Idk I don’t think albinos should be hunted, there too majestic and Rare.

[@MyColea]

What about the meat that was in the head what do y do with that and how do u get it out

[@mtndeer]

We have another video about how to cape the head and remove the antlers. 👍🦌 if that helps

[@rogercarlson2330]

Hey Rodney is it if i share this?

[@tylerwilliams7352]

Is there a way to sholder mount a deer and get the pelt

[@mtndeer]

you can save the main hide and tan the back half , but you need the cape for the mount

[@douglee8007]

Damn good information buddy thank you sir

[@mtndeer]

👍glad you found it helpful

[@solidrockofjesuschristmini2423]

Will a taxidermist cape the deer for you? Just wondering

[@mtndeer]

Most of the time yes

[@allainb.gonzaga8009]

Where do we shoot it?

[@MRBONEZ-vz2vs]

The head or heart, depends on that you want to mount.

[@colbykinney5633]

Is a wingless fly called a walk?

[@MRBONEZ-vz2vs]

Whad?

[@RockyMountainHunters]

Same process for a bull elk?

[@mtndeer]

sure! any shoulder mount... leave whole hide for 1/2 mount! happy new year!

[@rocket21brs3]

Wish you had showed pulling down hide

[@mtndeer]

For all our pricing and options feel free to check out our website: mountaindeertaxidermy.com Thanks for watching and if you have any other questions just ask!

[@mtndeer]

We charge $636;00 tax Included for a regular shoulder mount.

[@ep3389]

Wouldn't it be 100 easier for the taxidermist to not make the leg cuts and just pull it over

[@15roundchamp4]

You drug him out 2.5 miles?? I dont think so!! I killed a spike in the North GA mountains and drug him a little less than a mile down hill and his whole side was completely hairless...that would be my only complaint.

[@lances4803]

Might have used a sled, like at the beginning with the larger deer.

[@15roundchamp4]

@@lances4803 yeah, thats what I was thinking right after I posted my comment. I might have jumped the gun a little.

[@angelinavargas4015]

All the animal activists are mad 😂. But I was always curious on how this is done I literally have on deer head in my house and my uncle has a big elk head and more deers and a few ducks

[@mtndeer]

Taxidermy has been around probably longer then farming . Every thing is symbolic and we choose our feelings and put them to what we want, in my experience. We are allowed to suffer anyone's actions, if we choose. I would well expect that one day this should be a kinder more gentle world. Critical people often share , unrealized similarities.

[@MRBONEZ-vz2vs]

True, people hate it when other people hunt, as if people who want to shoot animals aren’t allowed too.

[@legendaryskulls337]

One day if I shoot a buck I’ll get a amount done 22 years in Ohio stillhaven’t seen one

[@mtndeer]

Don’t give up you can do it! However something isn’t working, try changing things up. Even do the complete opposite of whatever you have done in the past. Who knows you might learn something! 👍🦌 keep trying!

[@tomcrouch7001]

Could be your after shave.

[@MRBONEZ-vz2vs]

You ain’t seen a buck in that time you’ve lived there, dang, I’d only lived where I live for a few months and I’ve already seen an 8 pointer, soon to be 12, and another 4 or 6 pointer.

[@grantwallerius9364]

Ya agree, but I shot a 10 pointer and was still a skull mount. Nice talking bye

@@mtndeer when the hunters educate the uneducated. People really need to research what the hunters do with the meat before thinking that the hunters just leave it.

Why is that person getting a shoulder mount on a 2 point or 4!

[@mtndeer]

Everyone’s definition of a “trophy” changes over time. Whether it’s to just get a deer, or a 200lb buck, they are unique and special. Like the hunters that choose them.

[@mtndeer]

some people do them all ! Some times its a first or a youth deer this was just a video caping deer that's all.
