Title: 5'8" Black Bear Rug with no felt (MNTaxidermy)
Post by: Michelle_Nelson on April 03, 2012, 03:12:15 PM: Here is another Bear Rug that I finnished up a couple months ago. Thought I'd post some pictures up. This one was done with no felt by special request. This Bear and the 4'4" Color Phase were killed by a couple of brothers.

:yeah:
I think I like it better. Nice.

Then when company comes over that is freaked by taxi'd animals, you can turn it upside down and it looks like your coat laying on the floor :chuckle:

Post by: Michelle_Nelson on April 04, 2012, 11:05:08 AM: These are the first 2 I've ever done and it is taking me a little longer to warm up to the idea of No Felt. Personally I like my Rugs with Felt. Thats just me though. :chuckle:

Post by: grundy53 on April 04, 2012, 11:23:56 AM: I like it without felt better. If I get a rug worthy bear this spring/fall I think that is what i'm going to do...

Post by: Wildsau on April 06, 2012, 11:33:55 AM: I have to agree with the rest, it looks better without the felt.

Does the price change any?

I am hoping to put an arrow in one, this fall, and my Home Regime said it would be made into a rug. Michelle, you know where I'm coming to get it done. ;-)

Post by: TeacherMan on April 06, 2012, 12:33:07 PM: I really like the no felt! What town are you actually located in? I think I'm going to be moving pretty close to you know.

Question I got a grizz last year that I just had tanned out. Is okay looking but would I ever be able to have it rugged? Tanned its around 8' 3"

thanks

TeacherMan, your moving just north of Astoria along the coast arn't you? I am in Rochester Washington off Exit 88. I think your about 1 hour 20 minutes away from me.

I will send you a PM and we can talk more about your Grizzly Bear. :)
