Bear Hide Treatment and Taxidermist Recommendations
« on: September 04, 2014, 08:36:25 AM »
Shot a beautiful chocolate bear last night in Idaho. As expected, he died on a nasty hillside and I had to quarter and pack him out. The hill side was dirt and a great wrestling mach ensued while skinning the bear out. As a result, there is dirt on the hide inside and out,  and it still needs to be fleshed out.

My questions are...

What should I do with the hide before taking it to the taxidermist?I want the hide tanned w/ paws, not a rug. Should I try cleaning it up myself? I was able to get everything cooled quickly. I took my time skinning it so I think my cuts are fairly accurate. 

Any taxidermist recommendations for the Spokane area?

Thanks!
