Post by: jrebel on September 12, 2013, 12:14:36 PM: Yeah....he did a deer for my hunting partner 2 years ago and it was amazing. I hope to have him do some birds for me this year. I won' t use anyone else as long as I live in the Wenatchee Valley.

I upland hunt. I have never had the opportunity to duck or goose hunt on a regular basis. Don't have a water dog and just recently bought a little boat. I would love to get into it though. ;)

Don't know exactly...but the taxidermist believes around 120lb bear 2-2 1/2 years old.

I was going to do a little bear rug, but the taxidermist convinced me to do a full body with that size bear. I am extremely happy he talked me into it.....cause it turned out great and is a perfect size full body bear to have in the house.
