mounting bear cub sitting?
i have a 60lb bear cub hide being tanned . i want to have it mounted in a sitting position with its front paws on the ground. i was told that this form was a real hard one to mount,my hide i split up the back from neck to tail. i was talking to a long time taxidermist in my area and he says that in order get the hide on this type of form you must cut the legs off the bear and sew them back on. have any of you taxidermist every mounted a cub like this ,if so how hard is it? he told me he charges as much to mount a sitting cub as he does a big bear or more because of the extra sewing .
