Bear Rug Taxidermist?????

[johnboat]

I was fortunate enough to harvest a 300+ lb. black bear in Ontario with Ian at Five Lakes Lodge on Gullrock.

If you were going to get a rug made, where would you take it? And what input or advise can you give me.

Ask any taxidermist if they sew or glue the layers of felt backing to the hide. If you settle for a glued mount, it will get stiff so it can't be draped over anything or folded or rolled up to move it.
The ideal method is stitching.
