Your trophy will only be as nice as YOU make it. Straight lines on you caping cuts, keeping the hide dry and cool, not dragging your animal and creating bald spots, turning the lips ears eyes and nose, folding not rolling if your going to freeze. Salting to prevent hair slippage. These details will tell the story of your bear. You want people to say "damn nice bear" , what that really means is you did a good job caring for the animal in the field and your taxi could do his job easily without a bunch of difficult fixes. For a noob, leave the paws and head in , fold the cape and freeze on top of a plastic bag for two days. Then you can transfer it into the bag or take it to the taxi. Let them turn the nose, ears, eyes and lips. Let them cut the paws out and do the fleshing.
