As you may know, the further North, the better quality of the fur, simply because of the cold weather conditions. All our hides come from Canada and have very thick, dense furs. The interior of the mouth and teeth are airbrushed and hand stained for a true to life look. The eyes are state of the art implant quality. These hides are professionally tanned and are exceptionally well groomed.

Our main objective at fursource.com is to provide Competition Quality mounts for our customers, at a reasonable price. We do not sacrifice quality for price. Our realistic Black Bear Rug mounts are among the best in the country. All of our skins are commercially tanned by the best tanneries in Canada. We devote great time and care to the eyes, nose and ears to make our black bear skin rugs look alive.

The Black Bear is usually black with a brown muzzle, and lacks the shoulder hump of the Grizzly Bear. Black Bears have strong, highly curved claws and the profile of the face is convex (protruding outward) as opposed to the more concave profile of a Grizzly Bear.

Adult males Black Bears range from about 4 ft to 7 ft from nose to tail and weigh from 130 to 660 lbs. Females measure from 4 to 6 ft and weigh 90 to 300 lbs. Their weight depends upon their age, the season of the year, and how much food is available.
