Impala damaged hide options?

[RLXFXR]

Hey all - unfortunately, when I recently took the shot on my impala it turned and was hit in the lower jaw. There was no way to salvage the hide for a shoulder mount. I’d rather not do a euro mount. Is it possible to buy a skin and utilize my antlers for a shoulder mount?

It should have been very easy to find a replacement hide from your outfitter in Africa before shipping. If it’s already past that point, talk to your taxidermist. There are impala capes available.

Echoing what 375 said. My gemsbok cape was not good for mounting (my fault) and the taxi offered me an extra he had. I don’t think he even charged me for it.

Impala capes are readily available anywhere in the world. Sorry that happened.
