it along the hair line on the back of the leg but don't cut through the arm pit, then go straight back with your cut.

You split down the back of the leg where your white tuff (hair) meets.


Bob, are these for customers?

If they are, it sounds like you may end up in a pinch. The reason I say that is, it sounds like you need to do a lot more research if you are asking questions like that. That is something that is pretty general. Have been seeing people taking in work when they should be doing more research. The 1st thing you doon't want to do is start off with taking a chance on screwing up someone's mount. Of course maybe you are just trying to learn how to cape out deer. If so then good for you for practicing on extra hides. Dan


thanks
