Can a tanned bear hide still be made into a rug

[D.Blake]

I got my tanned bear hide back awhile ago and am extremely happy with it - but would it be possible for the flat tanned hide be turned into a rug with a form for the head? the mouth/face is all intact and looks normal out to the lips.

Upon first approaching him after my shot, I will never forget how big of a melon this bear had - but the flat rug just doesn't show the head size well. His face is actually kind of scrunched up.

Usually yes, unless you really messed up on the skinning.

All rugs are tanned first then formed into the head mold, cut and trimmed to lay flat then felt added.

generally yes, that's the first step. So provided the head was properly caped and such, you should be good to go.

It will help if you can provide the taxi with a photo taken right after the kill.
