September Bear
« on: April 04, 2024, 11:01:07 AM »
I shot this bear the year I had the eastern elk raffle tag. It was warm and the hair slipped after tanning in spots so a rug was out of the question. I decided to go with a pack mount.

Damn nice!  A mount that tells a story, really like what you did.

That turned out amazing! I think I prefer that mount to a traditional rug. Hope you don't mind if I mimic that when/if I get a bear  :)

Looks good!!
I’ve got a lion at the taxidermist that I’m also doing a trappers mount on. Did your taxidermist supply the old school packboard or did you buy one of the replica ones online?

It is an old packboard my father in law had.

Nice mount, I am doing the same with the bear I got last year.

I don’t have a frame but buying one of these to have the tanned hide mounted on.
