    Wanted - Head skins / Capes

    If anyone shoots some decent Red stags or Fallows bucks this season, I am after any spare capes if your not wanting the capes yourself. Need the capes cut from behind the shoulder. If you cant skin the head out I can do this and return the antlers as a Euro Mount for you. PM me if you have anything with photos. Thar or Chamois capes are also welcome. Don't mind traveling to pick up or I can arrange a courier.

    Regards, Billbob

    What a beauty, love west coast stags with those very dark manes - I shot my first deer on the coast a little spiker.

    Maybe you should put some links up to skin a head in the field that will survive head slippage? ie salt etc ?????
