5 Options for Your Spring Black Bear Hide
Hunters with Table Mountain Outfitters harvest some beautiful spring black bears every year on our guided hunts in Idaho. Due to the elevation, bears here rarely have rubbed hides. And the predominance of color-phase black bears is especially attractive for mounts and hide use.
After your meat is processed and the hide caped out and ready for transport, you’ll need to consider options for using your black bear hide. Freeze it or head straight to the taxidermist or tannery and make a decision. A black bear mount or hide is a wonderful addition to any house.
