Looks great, but I have a question. I don't know if its your bear or not, so I don't mean to offend anyone. Why do people have black bears mounted with their mouths open like they're ferocious? They are a doscile animal and its extremely rare to see them like that. Just curious.

Dan - I agree with you but they pay the bills. I actually turn all of the "attacking" . I was at our local bow shop and had a group of hunters going to Canada bear hunting, so I met them there to discuss some things. They have an attacking bear there and I hate it, and mentioned that I would do any bear mounts except one like that. One guy chimes up that he wants his like that and I told him " I don't mount squirrels playing golf or bears attacking". He said "well I am paying", I told him when he can have a bear attacking him like that and tellme what color his tongue is, I'll mount it.This pose I figure I can justify by it may be fighting with another bear over bait.
Thanks again guys. It's nice to hear all the compliments.

I figured that was the case. As a bear outfitter I always ask the first time hunters how they are going to have it mounted when they get one. 50% of the time they say they want the half wall mount in the attack position. I always tell them that by the end of the week and they see how the bears reallyare they will change their mind.......and they always do.
I had to edit an obvious spelling error before PT the spelling police showed up.[:-]
