Before I get to carried away this bear was a wholesale job I did for another Taxi that was behind and trying to get caught up. This was one of the Bears he sent me. It was already tanned and the Rug shell already in. Needless to say about pissed my pants when I pulled this one out to work on.
Here is a Photo of the entire Bear hide right after I rehydrated it.
Front right leg and the only one that was cut correctly
This is the Front Left Leg. The arm was skinned to high across the chest so the top of the arm is actually in the arm pit. That is why it lays the way it does.
This is the Left Rear Leg. I have no idea what was going through their minds when they skinned it out because the foot was being held to the hide with a 2" wide piece of hide.
This is the Right rear leg. Who ever skinned out the leg started their incision on the top of the foot and skinned around to the butt hole. So the flank is actually on the bottom part of the leg.
