Does anyone split there deer capes all the way down the neck?|Page 2|General Taxidermy Discussion|Forum|Taxidermy Talk

when i was guiding we always caped the animals on the hunts like this. Not because it was easier but on a lot of the hunts the temps were warm so instead of taking a chance and having problems especially antelope we would open them up down the back of the neck to let the heat out. When i had time to cape as they came in it was done with short incision but alot of times i was just dressing and hanging in the cooler until i could get back to them. I do about as many long incision as i do short Y in the studio each year
