My bear is finally done!!! Updated with wall pics on page 7

[Schultzy]

As many of you know I had problems with my Taxidermist finishing up a bear for me. Well finally after 8 years its home where it belongs. He is almost 8' long from head to toe. He dressed out at 325lbs and scored 20 5/16. The other bear (night hitter) that I did a thread on will make this guy look small!

Here he is the night I shot him back in 2000. I'm the young pup in the pic.


Here he is now in a rug mount. He won't be on the floor for long. I've got to get a few things so I can get him hung up on the wall.




Head shots.




He has a light blonde strip going down the middle of is back.

I remember you saying about this! Its bout damn time!! Did he ever say what held him up for so long?

Schultzy, congrats on the rug buddy. Getting that thing may have been more of a challenge than the hunt.

It looks great though and that is a beautiful rug. I bet you're smiling like a butcher's dog right now.
