Title: Before and After
Post by: muleyhunter on May 28, 2011, 01:43:12 PM

Here is a bear face that slipped so bad due from not cooling it down and poor field care. It was a first bear so wanted it mounted still. It was a closed mouth form and alter to a slightly open mouth.

I thought "What the heck would you mount that for?"  Then I scrolled a little further down and saw the rest of the pics.

Wow!!! What a difference. Looks great.

Wow muley, you sure did a nice save on that one.  I sure like the white V on his chest.  What did that bear weigh?  Good Job!  John

Thanks everyone for all the nice compliments. I'm glad that one was over talking about stress. John the bear weighed around 175 lbs. with that v on the chest was a big reason also for wanting it still mounted.

Did you add hair or just paint it?  Looks great!  It is amazing what can be done with wildlife art.

Muley awesome job on saving that one. I have been learning as a taxidermist you got to know how to fix things. I got a mule deer in and the guy actually cut the entire ear off. Brought it to me in a bag. It was one of those moments. Where all I could do was LMAO.

Once again great save.
