    Thats a really nice buck and a great looking mount. I feel your pain, my 2008 bucks cape is at the taxi, I still have the rack at home. He said it would be finished in November, he just didn't say what year. :bash:

    Congrats and great buck. You might want to keep an eye on how the air from that vent is blowing directly on your mount being that close...I don't know if the heat will hurt it???

    Good call there. I would definatly move it the heat could make the cape dry-rot of it blows directly on it overtime. I have seen it happen on a deer that my girlfriends dad hung over his fireplace. The seam stretched, and hair patches fell out, plus some cracks in the epoxy. Heat+taxidermy=disaster!!

    Great buck man I would hate to see anything happen to it!:cool:

    Edit: If thats just a cold-air return, then dont worry about it...:deer:

    That's a great looking deer, you probably almost forgot what he looked like huh? Did he tell you why it took so long?
