Posted my bear hunt from alaska and i now have my hide in a chest freezer.  I just got back a couple of days ago. I was wondering if anyone had any info of a taxidermist to take care of it for me.  I want a rug mount or a pedastal mount.  Not sure yet.  So any info of a good taxidermist that does good work would be awsome.

I heard you were going, but didn't hear about the results.........Better go take a gander.  Congrats are in order it sounds.

There are obviously some Good taxidermists on here, but not sure if any of them specialize in big Grizz.

I guess its not a big Grizz, but might as well be.   Nice trophy.  He will make one helluva mount.  I would certainly go pedestal with that!   Very NICE!

Olympic taxidermy in North Bend.  Buzzy Cook check it out he's awesome.

 He does a ton of brown bears.

Congrats that it is one heck of a nice bear. :)

Here are some reference photos from Todd if you are eastside.  I thought you tagged a grizz, so asked for reference photos on them and if he did them.  Sorry about that.  The first one will be of a phased blackie, then a grizz, then a local mans trophy room with Todds work.

Again, I have never met Todd officially, so not trying to sell anything.  I am comfortable referencing his work though.  I think he does the best cats in the business.  If I'm not mistaken I think Rubbles has his cat there this year.  Anyway, thats eastside, and you got my westside references in the PM ;)

Bone, Is that Polar Bear in the background the one that was done in Breakthrough last year? Looks like the same one, they did an awesome water effect with the Ice berg showing some awesome depth in the resin water. Is that Pyser?

Peyser.   I'm not sure if thats the one or not.  I remember the one, but don't recall the ice being as tall.  It would be cool if it was.  That mount is here in town.  I'd love to see it in person.  The fox mount looked familiar as well.   I love the mount.
