Idaho Black Bear Fur Pelt – Early Summer, With Feet & Claws

This is a professionally prepped early summer black bear pelt, sourced from Idaho. Measuring 59″ in total length (54″ nose-to-base-of-tail), this pelt includes feet with light brown claws, split lips, turned ears, and an abdominal incision extending to the base of the skull—ready for taxidermy or display purposes.

The bear displays a striking “wild ass” coloration, with a distinctive golden-bleached dorsal stripe of fur (up to 4″ in length) along the center of the back. The surrounding early summer coat is sparse, as expected for the season, with darker chocolate-brown fur beginning to regrow along the sides and extremities. This transitional fur stage gives the pelt a unique character that many collectors and taxidermists value for lifelike mounts or artistic presentations.
