On my trip they certainly did it all. However, had I asked, I don't think they would have cared if I did some or all of it. One of our guys is a taxidermist and was certain he would do the caping. He watched them doing one of mine, and after seeing how well he did it all, including the ears, he was impressed and let them do it all. They are very good at what they do and I chose to use the opportunity to watch and learn a thing or two.
