This is the only spot in the house i had where he would fit. Squared 6'7" for reference.

Bear shoulder/half mount at the taxidermist I use was cheaper than a rug.

Brass upholstery brads around the felt. The only place in the house it would fit. The cardboard at the bottom was added when MRS got her kitten. A marriage saving compromise.
It squares exactly 6'

Wow. I know it's been 20 years, but mine cost me $900. Prices have really gone up that much?

Solid taxidermists I’ve seen are 2-3k.

Damn. Remind me to never kill a bear again! Just for the heck of it, what's a rug go for?
