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.

From Harvest to Taxidermist – How to Manage Your Trophy

Our hunters here at Table Mountain Outfitters enjoy high success rates, and many will want to preserve the memories of their adventure with a shoulder mount or other taxidermy. If you are considering a mount, do some advance planning to help make sure you get what you were hoping for and a quality end product. Of course, our guided hunters have the advantage of hunting alongside our expert guides who will manage the caping and processing. Even so, it’s best to have a plan in place before your hunt.
