Do you cape out your trophy or pack out the head?

[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 945599, member: 33822"] Up until now, I simply do a nice job of cutting the hide off the body/neck and then leave it attached to the head and carry it out in one heavy load. But my last nice bull with the head and hide together weighed about 100 lbs. When I get older that's not going to be very much fun. But overall I just would be angry with myself if I screwed something up by caping the hide off the head in the field. It's a lot of work to just quarter a big bull, especially doing it alone, and it's easy to make mistakes when you get tired, knives get dull, etc. So for now I leave the delicate work to the taxidermist.
