For all those heading up for the opening here are a couple pics of a stone sheep cape. If you bring this much cape out your taxidermist can put it on any shoulder form that is out there.
Extra cape can be trimmed off but not added on. Also in the early season it is important to split the lips and turn the ears and salt as soon as possible to stop bacteria from making the cape slip.
Two pounds of salt is plenty to get you out, but I would suggest that you have more salt at your drop off point, main camp or truck and resalt before making the trip home.
Hope everyone has a safe trip and Good Luck
