Now that season is finally over, it's TAXIDERMY time once again. My first attempt at a backpack...all finished up minus a few personal touches from the hunter.

****For all you internet ECOs, the tag is green because the deer was taken in 2018.

Nice work, 

How much and can you do that from older ones that have been euro mounted? Can you arrange for the hide/cape?

You can use a replacement hide but at this point of the season you'll have a tough time finding a replacement cape with the entire hide attached.

What made the hunter go this route? Just something different or did he pack it out and wanna remember the hunt that way?

This concept isn't really unique...the backpack style mount has gotten popular over the past couple of years. It's not really my favorite type personally, but it's not my choice either.

Can’t speak for this hunter, but I asked Jason to do one of these mounts for my gun buck this year.   I just wanted something different.   I packed him out on an ATV but that wouldn’t really fit on the wall.

You've never seen one of those "truck bed" mounts? LOL!!!
