Funny you should mention bears....

Actually I decided to post this on this thread since Tyger seems to know more about types of fur that hold up well on a sporran.

So we have a stuffed black bear cub in our attic. My husband's grandpa shot it. Anyway, the mice (and I suspect a puppy) got to it's feet, ears, and nose, so it really isn't a pretty thing to look at anymore.

My husband thinks drenching it in gasoline and setting it alight could be amusing but since the hide is already tanned and before I let the pyromaniac ruin a good pelt, I thought I would ask:

Do bear hides shed/bald easily?
