Bears - Trophy Rooms

[AvidIndoorsman]

Show off those bear rugs, pedestals, shoulder mounts, etc.
I've seen lots of pics on here of bear rugs the day they come home from the taxi but I can't find many photos of where they are living; man cave/trophy room/ home office.

Let's see 'em!

No shoulder mounts allowed in the bedroom, but this I’m ok with. Doesn’t seem like it’s lurking over you in the night


This one is just a whole tanned hide on a ladder we made along with a few others. Sometimes when I mix it up, it gets draped over an antique trunk with a deer euro or something.

Yeah, that's the reason it's a mount and not a rug. First and only bear!

You got a CITES permit for that?

I’ve killed a couple decent bears, and a couple fluffy bears, but waiting for that true giant with good hair to rug. Looking forward to the rest of the thread...

Have you been keeping the hides and displaying them?

Displaying at times yes, currently in storage. Some I’ve given away. In hindsight I wish I would have tube skinned the small-mediums that I tanned instead of splitting as one would for a rug.

Same, I wish I could go back in time to 2012 and say; “listen you’re going to get really into to this and have more bears than you know what to do with, save the rug for a boar grizz someday and tube or just tan the rest.”

Why didn’t you post yours? Packed away already?

Exactly, I have 4 that are in boxes currently.

Bear hunting is definitely our passion/obsession. We have 6 rugs, half life, 1 life size, and my wife has another bear being life sized now, plus a pile of tanned bears. I’ll have to try to remember to take some pics of them. Enjoy seeing some other hunters bear mounts.

My son's bear should be done in a couple weeks, don't really have much room left at my house, so it's gonna go to my mom's

Just railing hangers for mine.

These make me wish Colorado had a spring bear season
