Scott, I\'d find a taxidermist close to where you\'re hunting and have them salt the cape then take to a butcher or someone with a walk-in freezer. I guess you could take salt with you and then keep in a cooler but don\'t let the hide get wet.
Talk to your local taxidermist and ask him how he\'d like it handled.
You won\'t go wrong with this approach. I know some of them have strong preferences regarding freezing and salt ... I have no idea of whether their concerns are important or hogwash, but I think if you plan to take the cape to them, best to ask them BEFOREHAND about how THEY would like them treated.
