I just picked up my bear rug from my September 2003 boar. I cannot believe how great it came out. It far surpassed my expcectations. The bear squared 6 & 1/2 feet. The rug is huge! I don't exactly know where in my house I can hang it. Right now it is on the my parents spare room bed. I will post pics soon. It is absolutely beautiful.

Hey congrats on your bear !!!! what was his weight, and where did you get him?

I'm in the same boat. I want a rug but have no clue where I'll put it. Congrats on the big boar. 6.5' is a huge blackie. Where was he taken?

congrats, on the rug hoppfully i can get one this season

Going to Maine ,this fall how much did it cost to get it done?

He weighed 313lb and I took him in MA.
The rug cost me approximately $1100 plus tax.
It was worth it. I took some pics last night w/ my digital, but they didn't come out too well. I can't get the whole thing in the camera in the little room it is in. I will post the pics I did get today hopefully. There was too much sun coming trough the blinds as well, which makes it look like it has stripes!

Here is one pic of it. The pic came out ok... but not good enough. I'll get some more when I can...once it's hung. This is the only place I could put it for now....

Bear rugs are awesome, cograts!

Hang them on a wall....they look awesome hanging and it only takes about 15 minutes to do it right. All you need is 5 screws, a tape measure, screwdriver, and a pencil

By the way...who did you end up using to do the work?

Rick & Phyllis LaBlue at LaBlue's taxidermy in Adams, MA. He does terrific work!
