First bear rug
« on: November 12, 2008, 10:43:16 PM »
Took these pictures a while back, figured I might as well post them.  This is my first bear rug from the bear I shot last September.   I got it back in August of this year.  Bruce Tediesky of Wildlife Art Taxidermy in Whatcom Count did a great job on him. 

I didn't keep the skull from this bear, I don't know why, I just didn't think I had anything to do with it at the time.  But I did keep the skulls from my bear this year.  I just had my Great Uncle put the smaller of the two on a plaque European style.  I don't have any pictures yet, but I will post them when I do.  It looks really nice.  I am having my bigger bear of the year done at a beetle farm so that one will take a bit longer to get back.

Did you send in the other bear skull yet Shane?  How much do those cost?  Are you going to put it on a plaque?
