Thanks Ripp!! Optimistic green taping is entirely possible, and that's ok.... on the flip side, conservative taxidermy taping is ok too....... my concern is that I get "My" buff....... I have a ton of pics and over three years have memorized every little crevice in the horn structure...

I suspect optimistic green taping is the likely culprit but I'll know which in a few weeks..... I can't wait to get my beast back!!!!!! It's been sooooooo long!!!!!!!
