Last years spring bear mounted

[johnnyaustin44]

Got last years spring bear back from taxidermist. I really like it and am glad I sent this route instead of the rug. Makes the white patch a lotore visible. Enjoy

Thats a sweet mount! One day I want one like that! It look oks much better than open mouth and paws flailing around!
Awesome! Looks great!

Love it....Great bear and great mount.  I agree with the previous statement about the mouth and the paws....not really a fan of mouth open "scary bear" post.

Did you skin the bear knowing you were going to go with this type of mount, or did you split him right up the middle and have the taxidermist repair it?

Johnny, What did that guy end up measuring? Beautiful mount and good idea with that white patch.

Nice looking bruin. I like the closed mouth myself. It's nice to change it up from the norm........

I planned on this mount so I split him from the back. He was a really stalky bear and not real long. This style of mount shows off his girth in the chest and head. And eli I haven't had him measured yet. Still waiting for that dang skull.

 We ought to start a pool to guess what he measures. I say 20 3/16" from the pics. It's a brute and I'd be smiling too. That's neat the way you put the pics side by side for comparison. Still a great bear with a lot of character.

Sweet bear, who did it and what was the cost? Im trying to decide how to mount mine from this yr.
As far as the biggest Luke Carrick's from last yr I would put $ on is bigger. Sooo close to a new state record.

Cool looking mount. I like this style better also. ( more realistic). Your bear was my favorite from last year. Nice job.
