Looking for an antelope cape.
if you put this request into context (like how you accidentally drug the hair off your goat dragging it with your hunting mule) you'll maybe have more success
Nephew decided to mount his antelope after cutting the head off earlier.;:;banghead
they've got such an unusual transition to horn (vs antlers) I wonder how the taxi will do that.
Have you confirmed with taxi if this is feasible?
And if so - what are instructions for the cape donator? Should they leave entire cape/head intact (freezer) and then let your nephew's taxi worry about removing it then get horns back? Maybe free euro or at least cleaned skull thrown in?

there is nothing unusual about antelopes horns
Deer antler bases are just as different then pronghorns why do you think they would be any harder to do then a deer? A pronghorn just has sheaths covering their inner horn.they've got such an unusual transition to horn (vs antlers) I wonder how the taxi will do that.

You pull the hair down and cut around the sheaths:With antlers there's a stark transition from hide/hair to bone (antler) - so it's easy to remove cape perfectly
with pronghorn the horn and hair transition is more gradual so I imagined that the person caping a pronghorn out could make life miserable for the taxidermist depending on where he feels that transition is and how he does it
so I simply brought it up as a possible complication when fitting a cape on another pronghorn so the donor should maybe be given additional instructions or hand head to taxidermist
guess I was trying to be overly helpful and was somewhat curious as to whether it was an issue or not
up on the wall where you can't see the transition then maybe no big deal - but on a pedestal mount it might be hard to hide
but what the hell do I know... carry on
I likely could have one for you this weekend. Where are you located?
I have a nice antelope cape.
Also a good sized Canadian whitetail buck cape.
And a nice ND whitetail buck cape.
And possibly a beautiful ND moose cape, moms trying to decide weather to euro or mount it.
If you need any let me know.
