I got a small bear this year. The hide looks to be in really nice shape. I'm interested in a rug for my son and have no idea where to start. I can google up taxidermists but prefer to go to someone who is recommended. If you don't want to post comments (pro or con) - feel free to PM me.
Hide is in Kamloops area but I go back and forth between Kamloops and Vancouver.
I rolled the hide up inside out, put it in a garbage bag, and put it in the freezer.
Cheers,
