Morning chaps, when I hung my bear mount it had one hanger under the head, hung that first & then used a large staple gun to hold the rest (flat) . I parted the hair then put in the staple so the hair covered the staple. This was hung on a drywall, wall with paneling on top. Stayed hung for years until it started to get rather tattered & worn out. I thought they would last forever??? Maybe it wasn't done right??? It seemed like it had bugs at one time, didn't find any bugs but there were little shells all through it like something hatched??? Maybe I should have sprayed with bug spray? Maybe google it & see what the pros say. I was pretty bummed out when I had to throw it away. Lots of memories in that rug. Bill out. πŸΎπŸ‘£πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦
