Yeah, just what we need, another full animal mount sitting around collecting dust. Why not, sell the hide to the fly tying community where it won't go to waste? Let them make a wooden facsimile of the bear. Less maintenance - and the fly tying community can have an opportunity that they seldom get - some polar bear hair. Of course paranoia will prevail and common sense will once again take a back seat! Squirrel tails are used a lot in the making of flies yet there are millions of these tree rats everywhere - go figure!
