OK maybe someone can point me in the right direction or give me some tips. I have been bow hunting for over 30 years and know how to take care of the animals in the field. I can field dress, do the gutless, quarter, and take a cape off a animal (skull on). The only thing I have never done is take the cape off the skull I usually take my animal to a taxi and have them take care of it. This year my bull I took I decided I was going to boil the skull and go with the a European mount. I tried to take the hide off the skull to practice but had one hell of a time with it especially around the base of the rack. I really want to learn how to do this so If I'm in a situation where I need to get the hide cooled down before I can get it frozen I know what I'm doing.
So for those that take the cape off the skull give me some tips on doing this. What knife do you use, what do I need to know. Randy has a great video on the gutless to show everyone is there a video out there on how to do this?
Thanks for any advice
