Smith2260 Report post Posted April 27, 2022 I have a dry tanned Coues cape I just picked up from the taxidermist. It was my sons buck and he moved out of state and won’t be mounting his buck now. It was a 98” buck from Az unit 23. I haven’t measured the neck yet, if you need that to decide. Picture attached. I live in Queen Creek and work in Mesa. $300.

Big Browns Report post Posted April 27, 2022 Stud buck!! With all the hides being confiscated at the border the past 2 years, mature capes are hard to find. This should go fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smith2260 Report post Posted April 27, 2022 Briant- Mark Miller at Southwest in Queen Creek was the taxidermist. Not sure which tannery he uses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smith2260 Report post Posted April 28, 2022 I agree it would be a great mount. But he has moved out of state and just looking to sell the cape. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bowelk341 Report post Posted April 29, 2022 No that's high for a tanned cape but if the right person wants it he will get it. It only cost $62.00 to get it tanned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, plus the cost to have it fleshed and shipped. I charge $150 to flesh in my shop. The recent supply issues has driven the cape costs up drastically.

Cape, flesh, salt, shipping back and forth plus the tanning cost of $60 …$300 is worth every penny especially if you want to include time at the tannery and today’s shipping rates are ridiculous. Get it now ready to mount it’s a more than fair deal …to me at least. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
