5'10" Cinnamon Bear Rug w/ Skull (MNTaxidermy)
« on: July 13, 2010, 01:49:21 PM »
Here is a 5' 10" Cinnamon Bear I just got done finnishing out yesterday.  Real nice colors through out his coat.  Even has a faint white spot on it's side.

Here is the thread with pictures from the skull that came out of this Bear.  "Old Bear Skull"

http://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,44009.0.html






The nose looks black in the photos.  It is not.  It is actually a dark brown.  The pictures for some reason are making it look much darker than it really is.

No such thing as a stupid question.

No, modern taxidermists don't use the original skull.  Forms for just about every 'stuffed' critter gets some sort of poly foam/plastic form that they cut/trim/shave to the original size/to fit the tanned/shrunk/stretched hide.

No the skull is not sused in a rug.  It is a foam form that is used.  So it is possible to have a mount done and have the skull cleaned and whitened to.
