Plan on going on my first bear hunt here in Montana in a few weeks, assuming our state doesn't follow Alaska and Washington.
I'm a fairly anxious person and enjoy researching so I at least have some clue if I get lucky enough to get a bear. If I'd get one that I want to rug or mount, what is the process, and timeline, to get the cape to the taxidermist? I feel fairly comfortable with skinning I'm just not sure how to keep the cape until I get to the shop.
With that, anyone willing to recommend a taxidermist here in Montana? I live near Billings but will be hunting as far west as Bozeman and I'm willing to drive for good work and prices.
Thanks! And stay safe everyone!
