Looking for a source of brown bear hair for jigs. Small scraps would work I just can't find any. Figured I would ask to see if anyone hunts for them or know a taxidermist.

Not sure that’s legal anywhere on this side of the ocean 

 

I would look for somebody in Canada that shot a cinnamon phase black bear

Alaska and Canada's Yukon Territory are the only places that brown bear hunting is allowed on the continent.

Bears. Beets. Fact.
Bears eat beets. 
Battlestar Gallactica. 
 

Careful if you google big bear hair. You've been warned.😆

Guess I could bag a Panda and dye the white hair.

I shot a black bear several years ago and had a fly fishing buddy swing by and took several bags of hair and a few claws.

He also uses deer hair.

 

Black and chartreuse hair jigs was a go-to bait in our river for smallmouth.

I was researching black bear for carving and found out.

Sorry, bug Ron Burgandy fan here and could only think of that scene…

 

“I read somewhere that their periods attract bears. The bears can smell the menstruation.”
