I have a bear rug that was my grandfathers. He shot it, had it stuffed, etc. It's older than me, easily by at least 5-10 years. I don't want to put it on the floor to get stepped on and chewed on by the dogs, so I want to mount it to my office wall.

Thus the necessitation of my question: How do I mount a bear rug to my wall?

What type of wall are we talking about? Drywall, brick, etc. How much does it weigh?

... yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.

1 Corinthians 8:6

Drywall. Bear rug approximately 10-15 pounds.

You'll have to use gorilla glue and ducktape if you want to mount that bad boy.






I'll let the professionals advise you from here .

If it were me, I'd mount it on a frame first, and carefully. Making a frame of furring strips would likely be strong enough (and cheap) and that way, you could carefully attach the skin to the frame, then simply hang the frame.

Kevin is right. I once had the task to mounting a zebra hide and two bear hides to a wall. You want to put in on a frame and then mount the frame. BUT, call a GOOD taxidermist first. Some skins cannot handle the stress. Get it evaluated and them proceed according to his recommendation.
