Deer Cape Question

[RSJ]

I'm new to gamehead taxidermy and have been trying to acquire a couple capes this year for practice specimens.  My question is about hair slippage.  I had a guy give me a cape from a buck that he had shot about 3 weeks prior.  The deer has caped with the head remaining intact.  The cape was then placed in a walk-in cooler that supposedly stays at or "just above" freezing for those 3 weeks.  When I got the cape I skinned it from the head to be able for it to fit in my freezer.  I noticed quite a bit of single hairs that had fallen out onto my work area, but no substantial patches of hair were slipping.  My question is will this cape be okay to send to the tannery for a possible mount based on what I have described or does it sound like it is ruined?  Thanks for any help you could provide.

Do you eat three week old hamburger?

I failed to find the part of the question where the poster wanted to eat it..

..and I would bet that most folks do.  Do they put a slaughter date on meat packaged for resale?
Most meat is aged before being put out for sale.

My venison sits in the fridge for 1 to 2 weeks before being processed and frozen.  If indeed, the cape and head were held at "just above freezing" for that amount of time it could still be good.. about the same as the  chance of it tanning up poorly.  So your odds are solid at 50/50.. 
This would be a good one for tanning in house..
