Field Care of Trophy     Preparation is very dependant on the temperature. The warmer it is the quicker and more you must do to protect your trophy. Complete skinning and salting might be needed in the field if the weather is hot. Avoid direct sunlight and any heat.     BIG GAME: Cut around the body behind the front leg. Cut around the legs above the knee and split up the armpit to the around the body cut. Turn the skin inside out as you roll toward the head. When you get to just behind the ears, stop and cut the head off at the base off the skull. Bring to HEADS UP ASAP, you will be glad you did. If you cannot get to me soon. Split the hide up the back of the neck to behind and below the ears. Then a Y cut to and around each antler/horn (try to stay in the longer hair). Peel around the antlers, cutting the ears off as close to the skull as possible. Continue down the head to the eyes, careful not to cut off the eyelids. Down around the lips and nose cutting as close to the bone as possible. If freezing is not an option, Rub non-iodized salt into the cape, use a lot. Lay the cape out to drain. Do not store in a plastic bag. Get it to HEADS UP ASAP.   BIRDS: Keep in cool place, wrap in paper or cloth and freeze in a plastic bag ASAP. Take care not to  ruffle or break feathers.
