Skinning and hide Preparation - Lifesize Black Bear DVD

Length: 1 hour

Ray hatfield resides in Cody, Wyoming, where he operates a full-time studio with 20 employees, specializing in African and large Life-size animals. Along with some of his staff, Ray has won "Best in World" in the Collective Artist Division with a beautiful Leopard/Bush Pig Mount. More recently, Ray won the 2009 1st Place Best of Category Game head in the Collective Artists Division with a giraffe. he has also won numerous "Taxidermists Choice" Awards and other awards at World, National, and State level Competitions.

Ray starts with the initial belly incision, which is typically required for rug mounts. however, the rest of the procedure can then be applied to ANY bear mount, which is, how to split the lips, flesh the eyes and nostrils, and turn the ears. Ray also shows you how to skin out the paw pads and the toes. he then demonstrates the fleshing process using a fleshing beam, and then salting the hide, to get your bear hide ready for the tannery.
