The Flat Incision
This incision is used for rug mounts and for a variety of poses. The areas to be cut are shown in Figure 1. Make these slits (Cutting the feet free form the carcass) and pull the skin off the carcass. The head is detached as with the shoulder mount.
Caping for a Shoulder Mount
1. With a sharp knife slit the hide circling the body behind the shoulder at approximately the mid-way point of the rib cage behind the front legs. Slit the skin around the legs just above the knees. An additional slit will be needed from the back of the leg and joining the body cut behind the legs (Figure 2A and 2B).
