Title: How to hang a Bear Rug on a wall?
Post by: Gil Verwey on June 28, 2012, 03:32:00 PM
I shot a bear many years ago. I just redid my man cave and want to hang the rug on the wall. What is the best thing to use to hang the rug and the best way to do it? It is felt backed.

Thanks
Gil

Yep, mine had rings under each paw and the chin. Makes it easy to hang in any direction you want.

I used brass appolstry tacks. hammered them in through the felt not the hide. took many all the way around the hide to make it hang without any wrinkles.

My taxidermist told me to use long brads every 10" or so, through the hide, not just the felt. Look's great, no wrinkles.
