Yea, it's the latest craze, and I've heard that all of the best taxidermists are doing it. Instead of matching the cape to one of the new foam forms that have been sculped to the exact measurements of the animals, get the biggest form available then add some more foam to it to give it that swollen, puffy look. And especially with horned and antlered animals, it's the body size that's important. Besides, you've told all your buddies that your guide estimated the weight of your 5-pt bull elk at over 1000 pounds, or that your 6-pt (eastern count) whitetail was at least 400 pounds. And your mount has to match your story, right?
