- Mark box "Perishable" & use next day air or overnight.

SHIP SALTED:
- Make sure cape has dried completely, eyes, lips, and ears have been turned, and all excess meat has been removed from the hide.
- DO NOT wrap in plastic! Place the cape in the box by itself or wrap in paper or burlap.
- Skull caps of large antlers can be split to allow for easier shipping.
- Wrap antlers with packing to protect them during shipping (Bubble and peanut).
- Antlers must be shipped separately from the cape so the plastic is not touching the cape.
- Use pieces of cut up garden hose over the tines to prevent the tines from poking out the box.
