Half-body Black Bear Wall Mount
« on: February 09, 2015, 08:25:06 PM »
Got a bear this last fall. The taxidermist I am using uses a tannery that takes a little longer than normal... I am having a half-body wall mount (mouth closed) done. I think?  Was wanting to see if anyone might have something like that they could post up?

Here's a crappy picture of mine done by a tricities taxidermist. Can take more if you would like.

Shot him with my bow about six years ago.  Not the biggest but a special moment in my hunting career so I had to do something.  I do like the looks of these mounts however.

Here's our biggest bear, his left ear looks funny because it had been bitten off at some point in life.

Those wall mounts are my personal favorites. I like them better than a full mount. Saw one of a cougar once. If I ever kill a cat. I'm getting a wall mount!

How much does a typical 1/2 body wall mount weigh ready to hang?

Mine isn't very big, so it doesn't weight much.  small bears are easier to pack out!  :tup: :tup: :chuckle: :chuckle:

I did a rug and wished I would have done a wall mount.  Definitely going to do the next one on the wall.

i think mine was about $1400..i was just gonna get a head mount done because of the price but the one i got is kinda rare so momma said to get the 1/2 mount done and have never regretted it...those ones with the claws out and teeth barred are cool but i opted for mine with the mouth slightly open because that was how i shot him.
