    Russel, I'll be down there next week for the opening shotgun, if I take a buck in that age group that won't go on the wall, I'll get a hold of you then.

    Just a suggestion.... Head to a local processor. We have a couple around here and they literally throw away capes everyday. I dropped of a doe a couple of weeks ago and they had a rubber made 55 gallon can full of capes. Great place to start man!

    Check with your local butcher shops. Most of our butcher shops process deer during the hunting season. There are very few that dont.

    I only know of one place that is an actual Deer Processor.

    I Bet you have someone closer to you then you think (processing deer). I looked up a number of a processor not to far from you. I got this from Yellow pages.com. Hopefully it will help. Let me know how it works out.
