How To Properly Cape An Animal To Be Mounted

1. The first incision (incision #1) will be
made
        completely around the body just behind
the shoulders.

    2. The second incision (incision #2) will be
made
        approximately 6 inches down each front
leg. Cutting
        completely around each leg.

    3. Once these two incisions have been made,
join
        incision #2 to incision #1 with incision
#3. To do this,
        make the cut from incision #2 through the
armpit area
        until you reach incision #1.

    4. Now, simply skin the specimen all the way
up the
        shoulders and neck until you reach the
head. Be sure to leave about 6 inches of neck meat
attached
        to the head, which will be used for
measurements
        later. This area is marked with the dotted
line.
