I think the look of tanned bear hides look cool, even if the hides aren't really any good they are still worth tanning in my opinion.

I shot a bear with my bow a few years ago. First bear I have ever walked up to that had serious ground shrinkage. It was a little chocolate sow about 105 pounds. I was sitting on a stump and it was standing briadside at about 10 feet. I would have swore it was a 200 pound bear. Way to small for a rug, plus I already had two rugs, so I got it tanned and it is very cool looking. Could have used a large coon form and done a full body mount. :):):)
That's funny Machias! I've had a few come thru the shop and I refer to them as "toilet seat covers". I had one customer that brought in a cub about 75 lbs and wanted a half lifesize with it's arms out and a wide open mouth. I just laughed and told him to take it somewhere else. He agreed with my reasoning and we settled on a closed mouth standing on a rock. :)
