Large Badger Hide – Taxidermy Quality (BDG1003)

This large, taxidermy-quality female badger hide originates from north Idaho and is a well-prepared specimen suitable for both professional taxidermy and decorative use.

The fur is November quality, displaying attractive black guard hairs with white tips over a pale brown underfur, offering excellent contrast and natural coloration. Its size and overall condition make it suitable for rugging, life-size mounts, or soft mounts, and it would also serve well as a wall hanger or couch throw.
