Favorite way to do a bear rug/mount?
« on: July 21, 2015, 05:26:44 AM »
What's your personal favorite way to display a bear? Do you preffer shoulder mount, head mount, a rug, or just a good old European skull? Personally I preffer a nice rug! WHAT'S YOUR CHOICE?

I don't have one yet but when I do I want a wall mounted rug. Really has a way of making a wall look good and it takes up space so womanly stuff can't do on the same wall. Possession is 90% of the law including wall space.

I have a rug as well as a soft tanned hide hanging on a hook. All the skulls are cleaned also and sitting on my gun safe. Prolly won't do anything more unless it's another color phase. Then most likely just a soft tan.

I've never been a fan of rugs.  Soft tan for me.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

I did a shoulder mount but chose to have the ears back and teeth showing... Wish I would have done it closed mouth ears up.  Mount looks good but would look more "classy" the other way imo.  I will go rug or soft tan next time

Nice! I like the closed mouth, looks more realistic. That white stripe is beautiful. Great looking mount! How much does run? I know a bear rug is around $140 a foot.

I've got three rugs - open mouth, two shoulder mounts - both closed mouth, a couple of tanned hides and a couple of finished skulls - wife says I can't afford to shoot any more bears 
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
