First,go to the PGC bear check station,Get it taged and aged.If you go to a butcher,they will skin it out???????? If you must skin it,the feet and head must be left in the hide!!!!!!!!! Skin it down the center of the underside,from under the jaw to the butt hole. Next,down the under side[middle] of each leg{4 of them} from the main center cut to the ankle and remove the feet atached to the skin. Is this as clear as MUD??????????
Go on the net and look up taxidermy or Bear skinning,it should be there some where,with a photo.
If you are sure to be getting it mounted,see if the taxidermist will do it.
