More bear come into the taxidermist screwed up than not. The skinning cuts are made in the wrong places, the hides are full of holes, or the faces are ruined.
Since it's a tragedy to see such a badass animal not taken care of properly, Steve worked with John Hayes, from Hayes Taxidermy Studio, to produce this video. Consider this an education tool to make sure your next bear rug shows up to the taxidermist in tip-top shape. Don't go bear hunting before you watch it.

Can’t believe that bear cooperated so well.

@theotheleo6830 Год назад

Likely because it also wanted to know how to skin a bear.

I am so glad you guys posted this. It is so informative for me. I really appreciate it because I have never skinned a bear. I have done deer and elk. But this is great. This gives me more confidence and would love to hunt bear one day. I love it. Thanks guys! Keep up the awesome job!

Thank you for this, I’ve been hoping Meateater would put our a bear skinning video! Very thorough & I’ll definitely be referring back to this video after I get my first bear!

@Morpheen999 Год назад

I struggled through skinning bears my first few times, Still remember trying to get those bones out of the feet, getting the nose and trying to skin out the ears.. I was taking the hide to a tannery so I didn't have the luxury of leaving fat on or "letting the taxidermist" deal with it.. It had to be 100% prepped

@talec184 Год назад

Thank you so very much for these videos. I could watch a hundred of these videos and still pick up new good advice.

@Terpedup925 Год назад

Perfect timing. I was just watching your old video of skinning a Bear yesterday

@standaman6279 Год назад

The thing I found most amazing about this video is how sharp that little knife was. He cut that whole thing up with ease using the same blade and not having to sharpen it one time!

@rustybaxter9606 2 месяца назад

Well, there is alot of cuts in the film. He may have switched or sharpened during the film cuts.

@tannercampbell8027 Год назад

@robviousobviously5757 Год назад

I will most probably never need this knowledge, but I am glad I watched this. A well done explanation.

@txtpqb Год назад

Very interesting point on care after skinning, and to let that hide cool overnight before rolling it up. Would not have thought the hide would have any heat in it after all the time taken to skin it out.

@worldofwoolol6082 Год назад

Same here and when we got to the taxidermy people and it started to rot we would have looked like idiots, well not that bad but not great either. Good hunting and stay safe. Peace people

@jamesmooney5348 Год назад

One of the best bear skinning videos... thanks

@augustingarnier4625 Год назад

That final tip was awesome! imagine following all of these dressing techniques only to have the hide rot!

@mikealexander1859 Год назад

As an aspiring hunter, I enjoy watching videos which feel like expert level challenges. I learn so much and watch in amazement. I thought the comment section would be filled with activists. Happy to see hunters appreciating content like this! Go Steve!

@keredo854 Год назад

I have a question ( genuine). I get why people hunt for food but is it just fun to hunt like bears ? If so what’s the feeling like ? What makes you do it? Or is it to sell the fur ?

@billnorthington7725 10 месяцев назад

@keredo854 it's for meat same reason we hunt any other animal.

@Stephen-uz8dm Месяц назад

@@keredo854a lot of meat + wonderful fur. It's generally illegal to sell animal furs.

@AbBowhunter Год назад

This was an incredibly helpful demonstration. I have never harvested a black bear before, and part of the reason why is lacking the knowledge on how to skin it and prepare the hide. Maybe this will be the year for my first best!

We skinned hanging. Thanks for doing this! Next one I'm going to try to complete myself. mask- no claw rug backed with felt. My rug is 7'6" head mount with claws 2, layers of felt- (1600.00) Cheers!

@johnhutcheson8869 Год назад

My experience hunting the North Slope where I had bad weather and an unknown number of days to wait on an aircraft was that "scraping the hide and salting" was the way to go. I also "turned the paws" ....as it was again going to be too many days until I could get to a taxidermist. It would be good if you would go a bit further with this video and show how to do that right.
