It's amazing how many people throw away a perfectly good deer cape. I looked on Ebay just to see what the going price was for a green cape. It was right around $140.00. Once the antlers are off you can roll it up skin to skin and place it in a plastic garbage bag. Make sure to try & get all the air out. Tie a knot in the bag to seal it. Place it in your freezer it will keep for a very long time. There are States like Wyoming that have CWD and want you cape the head out or cut the antlers off. Why not save the cape? Now if you don't want your cape you could drop if off at your local taxidermy shop where some might be willing to give you a discount on your next mount. I don't know what the law states but maybe you could sell it on Ebay and get some of your hard earned money back for your trip? Why get rid of a good cape? You might as well be throwing money away. Consider next time, the cape could possibly be a little extra $ in your pocket! Just my thoughts. quest
