Have a bear and trying to decide whether or not to do a rug or full mount. If I decide to do a full mount should I get a wet tan on it or should I get a full tan and rehydrate? Also should the measurements be taken after the tan?

Should you go for the so-called full tan, it will shrink, but should let out.
I have become very fond of the wet tan, where the tannery tans, oils, freezes the hide. I seem to have less trouble and you still have three or four days to work the mount.
While a complete tan is great, but harder to work, relax etc.
and that's because Richard Christofor told me anything else was cheating. LOL
