change out head?

I bought a deer cape which is very large in the face and I cannot make it fit a form with the proper size neck. I was thinking about a change out head, a large one to put on the form. Am I on the right track and can anybody recommend a supplier with change out heads? thanks

Dale,

Yes, you are on the right track. Order the form that you need for the neck size and with the eye to nose measurement you may order a change out head. On some change out heads they may also list the neck measurement. Order the change out head that is the closest to both. Change out heads are available through; Mc Kenzie Supply, Joe Coombs, Joe Meder and others. Ed.

Save the original smaller head from the form for later use as well. You sometimes need to go down in size not only up in size. I did a buck last year that had a 28 inch neck and only 6 3/4 eye to nose. Goofy lookin deer but that is what it was.
