Elk Cape

Is it tanned or frozen raw. Do you have a neck measurement right under the ears where the neck and head join?
 
Its tanned and sorry I dont know the measurement. I was just looking for a general rule of thumb. The elk was a 5x5 I killed at the Sargents in NM

thanks Joe
 
Most any medium size cape would work, can get mannequin neck measurements off of most taxi supply webpages.
 
Here in Texas elk capes trade slightly higher than elk capes in western states because of availability. A tanned mature bull say 30-31 inches which is what I consider average usually trades around $450 here. If a Cape is of exceptional hair quality or an extra large size it would trade for more. Hope this helps.
 
30" is pretty close, on a 5x from Sargents I'd start around 29". Go too big and the horn to body ratio will look off.



Nose to eye around 11-1/2" to 11-3/4".
