i am pretty sure both the 6' 9" and this Bear were taken with rifles.  As to what size I do not know.

wow looks great, I had my first bear made into a rug, and it came out good, but the taxidermist ended up being kind of shady. It kind of soured me on getting stuff done. Im sure not everyone is that way though. Your work looks great, how long is the wait time from drop off to pick up?

Great looking bear rug Michelle, can't wait to get mine on the wall. I see work like that and it just makes me more anxious to see the work you have done on mine. I plan on putting it next to my shoulder mount I just picked up and the Skull Mount your doing for me.

Great Job! :)

Won't be much longer on your Bear Rug I have the head drying in it right now.  Will be ready to stretch in the next couple days.
