wish2hunt Report post Posted April 21, 2015 I guess he didn't buy enough flowers for the full mount. Great bear non the less. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Couzer Report post Posted April 21, 2015 Thanks guys, it was tough to decide between a rug or full mount. Wife said if I did a a full mount she would want him standing up, it was a tough call. Just don't think a 6 foot bear was feasible in my home with the space. I could see my 2 year old boy old ripping off a claw and my 4 year old girl dressing him up if he was close to the ground.

Couzer Report post Posted April 25, 2015 Here is a link to the backstrap I smoked, it turned out really good. I couldn't find a whole lot of info on it, so I ended up smoking it to 165 degrees I believe to make sure I killed the trichinosis if there was any. http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/51338-bear-backstrap-recipe/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
