I've got a black bear skin that I shot in 2000. I prepped the hide for a rug (split lips, turned ears, and removed the fat). It has been salt dried now for over 4 yrs. It seems fine, no loose hair or anything. Do you think it will be alright?

It should be fine. Unless carpet beatles have gotten in it.
