So I am going on an Axis hunt with a Sika doe option and I have some questions.
I am not interested in a shoulder mount this time. I know I want a "hair on hide" tan for each.
What options other than a euro mount do i have on the Axis, and would the Sika provide a cape worth having tanned and made into a rug or hanging, etc...
I am in the San Antonio area and dont travel much so some one local would be good if you have any recommendations, however, I am quite interested in doing it myself.
Thanks for any time spent on this ahead of time,
Gig'em Ags

The Nugget Company in San Antonio, they do great work. Got one there right now.

Gus beat me to recommending them. I too have an Axis hide there and have been taking hides to them for a couple of years now.

The Nugget Company did not disappoint! Great price and finished in half the quoted time, this was the first time to use them, but it will NOT be the last.

I need to say that I was not impressed as I usually am with the last hide that I had the nuggett company do. It was not near as soft as usual and really quite stiff. They also put a couple extra holes in it.
