More bear come into the taxidermist screwed up than not. The skinning cuts are made in the wrong places, the hides are full of holes, or the faces are ruined.

Since it's a tragedy to see such a badass animal not taken care of properly, I worked with John Hayes, from Hayes Taxidermy Studio, to produce this video. Consider this an education tool to make sure your next bear rug shows up to the taxidermist in tip-top shape. Don't go bear hunting before you watch it.
