My wife shot a beautiful bear last night that weighe 323 live weight. She doesn't know what to do with the hide. As of now, it is skinned for taxidermy and in the freezer. If you have any neat ideas please post them.
 
Shoulder or half mount is good for a bear that size. I think its a bit big for a rug unless you want to take up a ton of wall space.
 
We looked at some pedestal mounts and 1/2 mounts this morning. Kinda leaning that way. Any pictures and names of forms used for the mount?
 
My boy and his wife get bears most years.
They have them tanned and they bleach the skulls.
The skulls go in a display cabinet with the other preditors.
The hide they hang from there nose on a peg wall coat rack.
Very striking to see a half dozen bear and a bunch of coyote and fox hide hanging on a wall.
It is cool.
 
Still I’ve always been fond of the mounts where the hide is tanned and then mounted on an old pack, like when you’re packing it out.
 
Similar thread from not long ago. Some decent pics for ideas...
