When my taxidermist told me the price to go closed mouth I Venmoed him on the spot.

Here is a better pic with the details of his face. I have never been let down by this taxidermist.

I’ve only got one rug in my den, a 7’ Wyoming bear. Have many that would have made much better rugs but they take up so much room. I’ve given a few away and have a couple in my garage, but I usually just tan them. The skulls are neat. Here’s a couple pics of some of my hides.

I dated a girl that looked like that once...

I rugged my first few bears as a teenager. Most have been relegated to the garage. Now I just tan them. One day I hope for a really big one to do a life size on but we’ll see. Just love hunting them.

Since we can no longer import polar bears, I'll never have a mount like that.

And now I've run out of wall space, so the only bear that I have mounted was this rug of my first bear from many years ago when I lived in Colorado. I haven't even bought another bear tag in over 30 years. This rug does fit nicely in my stairwell.

When you tan them like that, is the bear skinned the same as if you were going to rug it?

That pelt rack is an awesome idea! I showed it to the wife and she approves, thanks for giving me my next "pandemic" project.

I was talked into buying the tag that turned into this rug by a young lady at the CPW office.....practically begging me to shoot a bear I got it as a "just in case" tag and it ended up being the only animal I took that year. He goes 6'6" and I really like the color. That being said, even though I am enjoying the sausage I did not care for skinning him and dealing with all the fat. Maybe I'll change but I think this may be my one and only. The bed he is on is a queen.

Rug for me.

That's an awesome CO bear!

That's an awesome CO bear!

Thanks.....it is a strange thing as far as bears in CO in my opinion. We have a LOT of bears but due to the fall only, no bait/dogs, and other requirements not nearly enough harvest. For instance, the year I took my bear (2nd rifle season) there was only one other bear taken in all of GMU 26 (archery)......and there are PLENTY of bears in the GMU. These pics were taken just off of the back deck at the rental house we had here in the Springs before we bought(about a mile from where we are now). She had 3 cubs with her and they were out there most of the day eating apples off the neighbor's tree. She was a BIG girl.

Couldn't agree more.

My first bear is up at my parent’s cottage. Wouldn’t really fit in my house. This is my second bear and the main reason I started hunting west. It’s at home in my makeshift office.

This was my first bear and very small bear. Fits good in my small house though. Had to do something with it especially with the color. Hopefully get a few tanned in the future.
