Tanning Black Bear Hides for mounts

Submitted by Tim Fridley on 02/07/2004. ( Cheetywa@hotmail.com ) 216.12.59.190

Can anyone tell me the best method for tanning a black bear hide? I have heard so many different versions and I was wondering what works the best? What is the best chemicals to take the fat out of the hide? Also what is the best method to eliminate the hide from getting smaller? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
