Transporting your cape

tips on transporting your cape

• When transporting your specimine on a warm day, it is okay to use bags of ice inside the chest cavity, but please get it to me as soon as you can. Let the water shed off and away. Do not let it pool in the hair.

• Never place the cape in water. 

• A trashbag will leak as the ice melts, make a mental not of that.

• Use frozen 2 liter bottles inside the cape inside the trash bags. You more than likely will need two trash bags if you decide on that cooling meathod.

• If you use a tote to transport the animal, please do not use loose ice. It will melt and cause a quick bacterial response on your specimine. Hair slippage will happen, and once it starts, 99% of the time, you cannot stop it.

• Think, "food grade transport" once you remove the skin from the body. A new tarp and wrapped up nicely is usuallly best. That will help you transport the cape and try to keep it as clean as possible. (EXAMPLE: oil all over the bed of your truck, please get a tarp before you lay your deer in it.)
