It's hard to believe any taxidermist would let that bear "rug" out of their shop.

You dislike your guests that much, Smoss?

I talked to Nathan at Cascade Taxidermy this afternoon.  I sent him the photo of the rug and asked if he cared to confirm if it was his work or not.  I also linked this thread.  Seems appropriate to allow the man to address the charges laid against him before tanning his hide - pun intended.

Did he confirm it?

Let me make myself perfectly clear.  I am ONLY commenting on the mount in the picture that kpigott963 posted.  I have personally never seen in person or in a photo a Bear Rug that Cascade Taxidermy has done.  So I can't tell if this is in fact a Rug that they did.

Several of you guys don't know what your talking about.  That Bear Hide was sent to the Tannery and Dry Tanned.  The Taxidermist installed the Rug Shell.  Trimmed the edges (a lot) and put the felt on.  The Bear was never professionally stretched.  That is why the legs are all uneven and screwy.  The 4 spots that look like slippage along the edges of the belly are normal.  Thats the flank and on a properly done rug they should have been dyed.  This is probably one of the worst attempts I have ever seen at doing a Rug.

I have 1/2 dozen Bear Hides on the shelf waiting to be rugged that were skinned out way worse than this one.  You won't know it when I get done with them.

Even if the hunter did a poor job of caping the bear, that is still a very, very bad job on a bear rug. Like the OP said all he did was glue it to a piece of felt... its bad. I'm interested to see what the taxi says because this is either a joke or the taxi was giving the OP a big F-YOU... wish we could see the other mounts

Nathan, if you care to confirm, I would like to verify if this is a rug that you provided to a customer.  An individual posted the following thread today and I thought you should have a chance to confirm and respond if you cared to.  Thanks.

Hey (Pygmy). That bear is not at all something I did. Like I said when we talked that the last bear rug that went out of my shop was about 3 to 4 weeks ago. I haven't had a unsatisfied customer either. So not sure where this is coming from. Let me know what you need from me to fix this.
Thank you, Nathan

So, now Nathan says the OP is lying about the rug coming from him. Let's see a receipt or a check, please. That should solve this pretty quickly.

Pygmy, please ask Nathan to post pictures of some of his recent bear rugs so we can see his work. It might make an interesting comparison. Thanks,

As I said, it's very hard to believe that ANY taxidermist would let a bear leave their shop looking like that. Just because a guy posts it on the Internet, doesn't mean it's true.
