I don't do any type of shoulder mounts on my deer. I either shape wood on to the cap and wrap with buck skin or boil the skull and put them on barnwood. Don't take up near the space or collect as much dust. I do a lot of that type of mounting for other people, been doing that for twenty years. Even do some for several local taxidermists. Have done about a dozen the past several weeks and am working on eight more right now. Have some more to pick up, but not sure how many.
I just save the capes for the guy Nulle had the picture of with the Western South Dakota buck. Fred is the sheriff, does taxidermy and has a guide service. Never asked for anything for the capes I've given him over the years, maybe I'll get a get out of jail free card sometime!
