Nice work, Charlie (as usual)!!

I love the natural poses on bears and cats, especially when the eyes are done right. The scary  :yike: claws and teeth thing is WAY overdone and the results usually are sub-par... :twocents:

That looks pretty cool Charlie. If Jeremiah and I ever get our guns to shoot, and we actually gun down a bear, I might have to let ya do another. Of course, the first two requirements seem like a long stretch right now.  :chuckle:

Yeah I like half mounts in more natural poses also. Maybe someday Ill shoot a Boar that was trying to kill some cubs, then I might get him snarling or looking aggressive. Got to go open mouth on rugs though, its tradition. Whats a trophy room w/o bear on the floor with a great big gaping mouth full of teeth.
