\"Dorsal
An animal of a lifetime is down and it’s time for the work to begin.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Someday, somewhere I hope you shoot an animal of your dreams. The what, where, and how may look different to each individual hunter, but that hopeful optimism is what drives most of us out of warm beds and into the frigid fall and winter weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re like me and get your kicks out of hunting big mountains for big game, or exploring mountain hunting for the first time or prefer animals on flatter ground – read on. I\u2019ll cover an important skill that hunters should be at least somewhat familiar with to ensure maximum enjoyment of their hard-won animals- dorsal caping for a full-body mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mountain animals are hearty creatures out of necessity. Heavy bone structure, square and malleable hooves, as well as some of the most beautiful colored capes on the planet lend themselves to spectacular life-size mounts. It\u2019s no wonder many hunters choose life-sizes for their big game trophies when conditions allow (biologically and financially). Being nominally familiar with the cuts can ensure the whole hide comes off of the mountain with a successful hunter, allowing the option for various mounts in the future without having to pay extra for a taxidermist\u2019s cape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the photos are taken and the adrenaline\u2019s burnt off, it\u2019s time to start the work of converting an animal into pieces and parts. Let\u2019s roll up our sleeves and grab a knife. The sharper the better for this chore so I prefer a replaceable blade model like the Havalon Piranta or something similar. The size lends itself to getting into tight places and blades can be changed on the fly as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Dorsal
Finishing the initial dorsal cut.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step One:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lay the animal so the spine is as straight as possible with easy access for a knife. Starting from the Atlas joint (the first joint connecting skull to spine), follow the top of the back down to a point several inches above the base of the tail, cutting as straight as conditions allow. Using your hands whenever possible instead of a knife, push the hide away on both sides, leaving an opening running the length of the animal\u2019s back. Work the hide down as far as is practical at this stage and cut the tail off at the base, leaving the bone in the cape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step Two:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pick one side to work at a time, I start on the left for no particular reason other than I\u2019m a creature of habit. Both legs (front and back) should be split from between the dewclaws, then following the natural contour of the back of the leg, stop the cut several inches past the elbow or knee. Skin the leg out as much as possible from this cut, break or saw the \u201cwrist\u201d joint apart leaving the small foot bones in the cape for the time being. Stop at the next joint up the leg- let\u2019s call it the \u201cknee\u201d joint- break or cut this joint as well. This should leave the lower leg bone (metacarpal for front, metatarsal for rear if you\u2019re into anatomy) unattached and ready to discard, allowing the skinner to pull the now-skinned leg up through the opening from the first cut. Do this to both legs on a side then flip over and repeat. (Some hunters remove quarters, neck, and backstrap at this point while others wait until all the skinning is done before starting on the meat, personal preference).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step Three:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve made it this far, the bulk of the work is done. Now that both sides have the legs pulled up through the initial back cut, your cape should be hanging on by the neck only. Skin this around until you can sever the head at the Atlas joint, leaving the cape attached to the head. With the head and cape now removed, a hunter can roll up the hide as is and leave the head in or skin out the horn or antler bases, ears, eyes, nose, and mouth. This will separate the cape from the skull and will offer more packing options especially if the successful hunter has a buddy or two along. Skinning heads out is a tedious task that shouldn\u2019t be attempted on a hunter\u2019s first big game<\/a> animal for preservation though. Practicing on several animals you don\u2019t intend to mount is the best way to become familiar with the intricacies of the bone structure in a game animal\u2019s face and make sure your cape is of the highest quality before it\u2019s dropped off at the taxidermist. If the head isn\u2019t skinned, don\u2019t worry, a taxidermist will finish it, along with the tail and the hooves as long as you\u2019ve done your job and kept everything cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Dorsal
With the lower leg bone removed, the rear quarter is pushed up through the initial cut.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step Four:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you didn\u2019t cut off quarters while skinning, you should now have a complete carcass to debone free of hide. Mountain game, like their cousins of the plains, can have some of the most uniquely flavored meat in the animal kingdom and every piece should be used to its maximum potential. I like to gut the carcass at this point to get at the rib meat and tenderloins. I\u2019ve found I\u2019m time ahead by gutting instead of working around the ribs and a full paunch using the gutless method. Remove all edible portions required by the state or country you\u2019re hunting<\/a> in and enjoy a year\u2019s worth of meat while you wait for a call from your taxidermist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step Five (optional):<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fleshing the cape is the process of removing meat and muscle that isn\u2019t part of the hide itself. A quick in the field fleshing job can knock off a pound or two of muscle depending on the initial caping. If it was skinned \u201ctight\u201d there won\u2019t be much left to get off of the cape and can be rolled up and put in a game bag for transport. If there\u2019s a fair bit of meat still attached, it behooves a hunter to get the chunks off at a minimum to cut weight but also to allow even cooling of the hide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of course, this method is fairly universal and doesn\u2019t just apply to American game. A hunter doesn\u2019t have to be a taxidermist-in-training to cape their own animals; some practice and preparation can give a hunter many more options when they\u2019re in the field staring at that animal of a lifetime, wherever it may be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
