Beginner needs small less than perfect deer cape

Submitted by Mike on 8/7/05 at 6:41 PM. ( iowa_deerhunter@yahoo.com ) 208.193.163.113

I am sixteen years old so money is kind of tight for me to buy things so I was looking for anyone who has a small cape that I could purchase so that I could start on one. I already have a form becuase I got a cape that was no good. This is a small form on which I have a set of my spike whitetail antlers. The form I have is
Right Turn Semi Sneak
A: 6" B: 14 3/4" C: 14 1/2".

Any help woulkd greatly be appreciated.

Thanks, Mike

IF YOU ALREADY HAVE THE HORNS MOUNTED YOU MIGHT RUN INTO PROBLEMS GETTING THE HIDE OVER THE HEAD ON A BIGGER DEER BUT BEING ITS A SPIKE YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET THE HIDE OVER THE HORNS BUT FOR FUTURE REFERANCE I USALLY PUT THE HIDE ON THE FORM BEFORE I MOUNT THE CAPE ON THE FORM SO AS TO NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS I JUST MIX MY BONDO A LILL HOT TO CURE FAST AND SET THE HORNS , HOPE THIS HELPS A LLL

Usally you put the "hide" on the form before you mount the "cape"? Im sorry for this but I was LOL when I read your tip of the day.
