I am attempting to put a closed mouth rug shell in a bear and a cased coyote, no jaw skin, bear is very old tan, but seems in good shape, coyote is 98 season and tan, the bear is a donated skin for me to do a hooked rug model so it is not a client's or competition item, any suggestions,also do I need to comb out hair, has some matting and such? I am new in the taxidermy gig. I have no one here who will do it.
Thanks much!
Vicki
