Grizzly Bear Rugs

A grizzly bear rug is a prized possession for any avid sportsman. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the grizzly is considered to be larger and heavier than other types of bears. He is in the same family as the brown bear, which has very similar characteristics and appearance. The grizzled look that sets him apart comes from the pale color of the tips of the fur.

The health of the fur is a result of the type of diet that is consumed. The basic food types include fish (especially salmon), berries, plant bulbs, whitepark pine nuts, and rodents. In addition, large game such as mountain sheep, elk, and moose are at risk for being eaten by the grizzly. Bears feast and store up fat for the long winter months. This fat storage is vital to maintaining a healthy coat.

The Hunt for Grizzly Bear Rugs

There are two hunting seasons during the year to take a trophy for a rug in your den or cabin. Spring and fall offer the opportunity to hunt for just the right size and color of fur to show off your hunting skills. Once the hide has been properly removed, it must be processed by tanning to preserve the beauty and natural feel of the fur. It can then be made into a rug.

When you place your order for a rug from High Sierra Fur Company, you can request shipping to any place in the world. Contact Johnney Walker now at 1-800-594-8266 if you have any questions or need more information.
