Importing meat into Canada has nothing to do with the U.S., it all falls under Canadian law. They are the ones to talk to.
The antlers and Cape will likely need an export permit before your taxidermist will touch them, your outfitter should be able to do / facilitate this for you.

Same happened to me. There was a thread on it here. I did some research on which counties in Montana were okay and we crossed with two Turkey the next weekend. Never happened before Any mounts I've had come across only needed an import permit no idea as far as meat. All we've needed for Turkey was the tags. If I were in your position I would be talking to both sides of the border.
