Looks great Keefer.

Were you able to save the original cape, or is that from another buck?

  The original cape wasn't any good because it was several days before I located him. John known as (Yohan) here was so kind to actually let me choose from a few bucks he has taken . He let me have the 100th deer he's killed with his bow. That buck is one that many here would of definitely have had mounted itself and a very pretty 8 point. I was so excited this past November when I sent a text to John saying" Hey remember I need a cape if you get one" and not an hour later he sent me a picture asking "Will this one do"?  Well I couldn't believe it and of coarse I said Yes.
  Thanks to John for letting me choose from a few capes he had and we agreed on one we thought would actually work but the taxidermist needed to do some measurements for my bucks base .
  I took it to him and he studies it and said "Well Keith just by looking at it I will need to make some adjustments around the base But I do believe this one will work"!
   It turned out better then I expected and that cape was very close in color as the original and had that burly reddish hair on top as well. I can't thank John enough for the "doner" buck and I feel half belongs to him for doing that for me.
  Again Thank You John if you are reading this . :thumbsup:

Your more than welcome Keith!!! My wife complains I've taken up most all of the room we have with deer heads so I have to check with her if any deer I shoot are "worthy" enough to be let in the house  :laughing: Im getting a good collection of European mounts!!!  :saywhat: I am more than proud that my 100th deer hide ended up under such a magnificent buck.....kind of fitting in a way......just to show you guys where the hide came from

John I haven’t seen that picture but have the one you sent me on my I phone still asking me “What about this one” ?
  That picture is very pretty of the way you have him posed there . I may collect some photos if ok and write a story on how you came to my rescue and unselfishly without hesitation offered several options for me including that buck mount you showed me in your home office.
 John is a mild ,kind killing machine and shoots very well.
I could never Thank you enough John for doing something most folks wouldn’t even think about with that buck.
  God bless ya John for being a good servant. <')))><

That’s great!!(Both Keefer and John).
I always check with my taxidermist to see if he needs a cape when I take a large but not big enough to mount buck. I don’t think he has ever turned one down.

I've seen some palmated bucks over the years (most from Maine) but nothing as heavy as yours. It looks like one of his parents was a moose. Congratulations on taking a buck of a lifetime!  :thumbsup:
