Outlined below are some tips on proper field care. If you find yourself
unable to immediately take your trophy to your taxidermist, the following
tips will help ensure that your trophy will be in the best condition
possible for the taxidermist.
When field dressing your
trophy, do not cut the brisket past the front legs. When skinning, cut around
the front leg joint, and up the backside of the legs. Carefully skin the
shoulder and brisket area forward and down the neck, taking care not to cut any
holes. Continue skinning down the neck until reaching the head and neck
juncture. Cut the head from the neck. Do not skin out the head unless you have
experience doing so. The eyes and lips can be very easy to damage. The cape and
head should be immediately frozen or taken to the taxidermist.
