Selling a Polar Bear Rug

October 24, 2013

Question: I’ve inherited a white polar bear rug that has been in the family for 30-40 years. I have no papers or receipts for it. Can I still sell it? (Christian P., Tulare)

Answer: No. Fish and Game Code section 4758 prohibits the sale of any bear parts, even if the bear is not native to California, and violations are prosecuted as felonies.

guess im a commiter of felonious acts, i have bought and am in possession of pre marine mammal act polar bear fur for salmon and steelhead fly tying that i acquired from a legal source in alaska. guess i better start tying up the evidence and losing it in willows, snags and salmonids jaws , cameron

PB is hands down the best for hairwing patterns, nothing close. You can still legally buy PB in Canada. Nothing synthetic or otherwise can beat the natural glow, translucence and flow of PB.

Can get seal up there too, it's very good but there are subs that are almost equivalent.

What kind of a man gets rid of a polar bear rug......let alone his grandpa's?  If I had no use for it as a rug then I'd turn it into a robe and rock that sucker around the house.  Shame on you christian p in tulare!
