Shoulder Mount Blackbear done (Charlie's Taxidermy)
« on: April 20, 2010, 04:56:46 PM »
This is actually the first Shoulder mount Bear I have gotten to do in my 12 years of Taxidermy. I have done numerouse 1/2 mounts and lifesize but never a shoulder. This is a big bear, the largest shoulder mount form I could get out of research. This is a great option for rubbed out bears like this one was or even a "Cheaper" option (about 1/2 of the price of a rug) for people that want to save some money. Anyway , enjoy the pics! Keep me in mind you spring bear hunters  ;)

That is a gorgous mount!

Thanks for the compliments. I cant wait to do another shoulder mount bear. They might be one of my favorites to do know. If I get lucky and kill a rubbed out bear this year I know what I will be doing with him  ;)

It looks ALIVE! Nice work. I hadn't thought about the rubbed out coat. This is a good solution.
Just curious. Why is a rug so expensive? I would figure there is more time in a mount.

There is WAY more time and work involved in the rugging process. The rug is a long draawn out process, a shoulder mount is alot simpler. Id say you have 4 times the ammount of time spent on a rug over a shoulder mount and also a bigger expense for me on the pocket book for a rug.
