what size cape

Wow, that's a awesome rack. I really like the heavy, palmated tips. I would suggest trying to match whatever the size of bucks that are taken up in Michigan. I would guess that they're pretty comparable to ours here in WI. I couldn't give you an exact size in inches, but I would say put the biggest cape you can get your hands on. (neck over 20") make sure you put a heavy northern cape on it, though. Nice buck! Make sure and post pics of the finished mount!

 

Using McKenzie's "B" measurement, I'd go 19" or bigger.

 

21" on the swell.

 

just wondering why they varnish them antlers like that..........

 

I'm with John C.. 21" at the swell. First its not the real cape so theres no point wasting huge money on a monster cape. Second a cape with a 21" swell should have a mature adult deer look while accenting the horns IE. larger. Ive noticed it with some deer that Ive done that this was the case. again just my opinion

My grandpa's 8 pointer scored in the 150's and I had a 21" replacement cape. Can't wait to see it!

 

E to N 71/8 C 19 3/4 B 20 1/2 Ben mears OA would look good

 

thats a good sized antler set, go for a cape 21" or better, you could relisticly put almost any cape 20" or bigger and it would look fine just find your cape before you order a form
