cape mount
Just wanted to share a cape mount that I done for a friend. Still needs just a little work,but I am mostly done with it. Im no expert and am new to this. This is just the 3rd one I've done,but I really enjoy doing this stuff.

Re: cape mount
Dang, that looks good. I like that almost as well as a full mount, and at next to no cost. Great job.
Re: cape mount
Really looks good, I have seen mounts like that before and think they are great.

Re: cape mount
Thanks everyone. Your nice comments made my day. Hope someday to have my walls decorated in wall to wall feathers ha ha. Each mount carries its own memory.

Re: cape mount
OK OK...That's NICE!!!! I still remember that day and the luck i had been having trying to get Number 1 of the season....And even this 1 knew something wasn't right as started to leave as fast as he came and I had 1 opening and found his head and here he is!!! Looks like a few of those Number 5s got into his tail but that adds character in my opinion...Thanks for offering to do this...The 1 I'm trying is still Borax covered and laying in garage but I'll get around to it lol..Thanks again!!!

Yeah when Livi told me you missed one I felt bad for you . Then when you guys came back and you had blood on your shirt I thought maybe your gun had busted your nose in the excitement like a friend of ours has happen to him frequently,lol. Glad you got a nice one,you earned that one. Glad we all got a nice one.That was a memorable hunt for sure.

Re: cape mount
I tell ya what was happening....Each time the Gobblers would come in, Don would say my Name...either Right there Joey!! Or Bust Him Joey!! or That's a nice Bird Joey!! And the Gobblers would freak at the sound of my name and go hay-wire because they know that "Joey" is bad news in the woods...You know? like a Predator!!! So when this Bird was approaching I said to Don to just be Cool!!...I had him right there when Don said "What are you waiting on Joey? At that instance, This Gobbler, like the ones before him turned to save hinself and I got Lucky and........OK I'll stop LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: cape mount
Ummm,ok. When we were hunting, that gobbler you called down the hill,across the creek only to shoot a feather off his back, he didn't trot off either until he heard me say shoot him Joey shoot him,lol. I'm just teasing. You done a heck of a job calling that one in.

Re: cape mount
I remember that because I looked over at you and seen this ...Then I shot and seen this and you seen this and then this and I think behind my back, you were doing this which would had made me like this but then I had that Gas pain and felt like this lol But seriously...I like to give them a fair chance so it's not uncommon for me to fire a warning shot and sometimes i just like to spook them real bad so I can try and call them in again....But as you witnessed...That doesn't always work LOL....I actually bought a Williams Sight off the Classifieds here last week for my mossberg but gonna be tough to let my scope go but think I will....Depends on how many Ducks fly away after I shoot at them with these great eyes I have loltomgirl wrote:Ummm,ok.

Re: cape mount
That bird was on us before we had time to turn on him. He'll be there for next season,I hope. That new sight may make you a leathal weapon,lol. With the cost of ammo, we can't afford to fire too many warning shots. I always laugh at myself at the end of every season.I'm finding shells in every pocket of my pants,jacket,backpack,even in the console of my explorer. I don't know why ,I think everytime I head in the woods I just grab a few extra.No wonder I was having such a hard time on that long walk,my pants weighed 10 pounds,lol. Let me know how that sight works out.
