latigo11 Report post Posted August 13, 2013 I killed this bear on opening day last year in 27. At 280lb's, he's not a huge bear but the color of him caught my eye and I could pass him up. I have him in the freezer and was wandering if ya'll have any suggestions if I should do a rug, half mount, full mount, half pedistal...?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Browns Report post Posted August 13, 2013 If money and room is not a factor I would do a full pedestal mount. That would be a beautiful full pedestal mount! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azoutlaw Report post Posted August 13, 2013 Rug for sure. Show off that awesome coat. Did you weigh it on a scale? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
latigo11 Report post Posted August 13, 2013 Yes, it was a digital scale and we weighed him 3 times and got 3 different weights (I think it was possessed). I just averaged them out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WildHeritageTaxidermy Report post Posted August 13, 2013 Here is a link to some mounts to give you some ideas, rugs do show off the color variations nicely, lifesize bears.... https://www.facebook.com/wildheritage/media_set?set=a.198459746878108.50121.100001422528828&type=3 And to some of the rugs we've done. https://www.facebook.com/wildheritage/media_set?set=a.234517423272340.58905.100001422528828&type=3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
