Caping
a game head
Skinning is
the process of removing the hide from a game animal.
Using a
sharp knife make initial cut 4" behind front legs and
cut around the entire animal.
Second
cut starts at initial cut at the top of the back. Second
cut runs along the back of the neck and stops 2" back
behind the antlers. Split the second cut to form a "Y"
running to the rear base of each antler.
Cut hide
around each front leg at the knee. Start next cut at the
back of the knee and cut hide up the back of front leg
to the top of the front leg. Then angle cut back to meet
the initial cut. Repeat this cut for the other front
leg.
On
antlered game, a heavy screwdriver with a 1/4" blade is
useful in prying hide loose from around the antler bases. On
horned game carefully use a knife to cut between the hair
and horn junction. Take the time to pull the hair down and
away from the horn base to avoid cutting hair with the
knife.
Begin
to separate the hide along the neck incision taking extra
care at the ears, eyes and lips. Cut the ear canal close to
the skull. It is always attached farther back and lower than
you think. If you place your finger in the ear canal it will
help determine this point. Take care not to cut the tip of
you finger. Again using your finger as a guide skin around
the eyes cutting close to the skull. Be aware of the tear
duct at the front of the eyes. You'll have to carefully cut
or pry tear duct out of the depression in the skull. The
lips should be cut close to the skull taking extra time
leaving all lip and gum material attached to the hide.
Make
sure the cape is long enough for a shoulder mount. The cape
should include the area behind the front legs. Being sure to
include the full brisket and complete armpits. The antlers
can be removed by a saw cut from the rear of the skull
towards the center of the eye socket. And a second cut
starting above the eye socket connecting with the first cut.
Congratulations you've successfully caped your big game
animal. At this point you should take the cape to your
taxidermist. Depending on weather and cape storage
conditions, determine the amount of time you have. If you
can freeze or place cape in cold storage this is preferable.
Treat cape as well or better than your meat. Keep it dry,
cool and bug free. Take care not to have the hide dry out.
Two main factors, heat and moisture cause bacterial growth,
the cause of hair slip. Eliminate or reduce these factors
and you increase the quality of your trophy.
