Wildlife Obsessions in Duvall did a really nice job with mine a few years ago.

I had mine just tanned by a Taxi  and it is draped over my gun safe.

I had the Taxi skin out the head, then I picked it up and cleaned the skull myself. Not perfect but good enough for this old boy.

If I get another I am going to tan it myself. There is a lot of YouTube’s on how to do it and I have one to look at.

I am confident I could do it myself.


Look into it , you could have a tanned hide yourself in couple weekends. Freeze till you are ready to start.  A rug might take a Taxi over a year and you a lot of cash.

Wildlife Obsession did one for me for my 2023 bear. Might take it to a furry gathering.

Yeah I think hides are much more useful just tanned than rugged. :twocents:

worth the drive to wildlife creations in hayden Id, waaaaay better prices than any of these wa places.  They did a great job on mine, I just dropped it off, they mailed it to me when done. easy peasy and save a bunch.  One popular taxi that's on here in western wa, wanted about almost a grand just to skin out the 4 claws!!!
