For anyone considering having a Game head of any kind mounted the skinning off of the cape is critically important to the look and quality of the completed mount. As a rough rule of thumb you can never take off too much cape, but it is all too easy to take off far to little. A short neck on Red Stag or Fallow Buck looks unbalanced and front heavy. Some larger heads with substantial antler growth are left staring at the floor if the cape is cut too short. If I do not think that a head will make a good mount I will tell you.

I can also arrange export of completed heads for overseas customers who may have taken a quality head during a visit. To save space,crate size and therefore shipping costs I can make the antlers/horns detachable. Most heads are mounted on an individually sculpted polyurethane manikin and all skins/hides are fully defleshed/shaved down and tanned. Hardwood shields are optional and can be Oak, English Ash or Mahogany. I can also arrange measuring for potential medal heads. If you have an old or badly mounted Game head with a good or medal antler set you can have a new  cape put on it and the antlers refinished. The old skin or cape is completely removed and replaced with a fresh one which if required I can provide. The result is effectively a brand new head. If you have a Game head that you may like to have mounted then please contact me and I will be happy to discuss your requirements and provide you with a quotation for having it set up.
