The old man and I are headed to Colorado on a deer/bear hunt this week. We’re both pretty excited as it’ll be a 6 day backcountry camp trip.
As I was pondering what I may do with a bear hide if so lucky to get one, it got me to thinking: Can you use bear leather?
Bear rugs are cool and I WANT one. Most Colorado bears aren’t giants (think North Carolina, Wisconsin, Minnesota 500 lber) and I’d like to get a big bear for a rug. The meat will obviously be consumed, but would bear leather be useful in certain applications? Clothing, accoutrements, bags, etc
