I should freeze the hide while I decide whether or not to have a rug made, right?

If you freeze the hide make sure you fold it so it's even
And fold it as big as you can so it freezes quick
Where's the pics

As some remember, I shot one on the 7th day of my spring hunting but I was unable to locate it.

Come fall, I had gone out again and again, but with no luck. This is a Kitsap County bear, only 40 minutes from my house. I was planning on a short morning hunt and didn't really expect to find anything. I got to the end of where I was going to hunt and started to head back to the truck. Then, I saw a black stump that moved.

But then, it was gone. I looked all over on this big hillside and saw it again, but then it disappeared again. Eventually, I got a good lock on its location and watched it for several minutes to make sure there were no cubs. Never saw any cubs, made a 300-350 yard shot and hit it in the spine in the neck. It dropped like a rock. I was hunting by myself so the pack out was a lot of fun.

This hillside was COVERED in berry bushes and had LOTS of sign. Now I know where to go next time.

Congrats!!!!

Thanks, everyone! After so much hard work, this bear feels extra special. I am thankful that it took me so long because I was able to enjoy a lot of time in the woods. I typically spend my time out there praying for people in my church and thinking about God's goodness. Bear or no bear, God is good!

Great way to pass the time while enjoying God's creation!

Well, I got a buck and need to make some freezer room.

(assuming that I can do this legally) Does anyone want the hide for free? (I live in Bremerton)

I only want to keep the skull.

I had considered having it made into a rug or tanned, but not anymore.

This offer will only stand for a week or two and then I will discard it.

Machias · « **Reply #23 on:** October 26, 2017, 11:18:44 AM »

Call some of your local taxidermist, some of them will buy them from you, which is perfectly legal. You can get $75 to $100 for a good hide.
