I would love to get any suggestions that you guys have for a base for my bear mount. I am getting a 1/2 mount of my bear that i got this spring and the taxi asked me to come up with something that he is standing on. If you have any pictures or ideas i would really appreciate any ideas that you might have. Here is a picture of my bear.

Id try and immitate the area where you shot him. Every time you look at it you will remember the fun you had on the hunt. Maybe stepping over a snow covered log or something, i dont know, Just a thought! Great looking bear though! Congrats!

Thanks i went with a rock with lichen, moss, and snow on it. Bear should be done in the next month or so. I will post a picture of him when i get him back

That sounds pretty awesome, Can't wait to see pictures. That is a nice looking bear.

thanks he should be done before Christmas. Here is another picture of him to show how fat he was.

great bear

Here he is all finished. Still have alittle work to do on the rock as you can still see a nut and have to do a little painting. Let me know what you guys think.

Nice looking mount. I like it when they are in a more relaxed pose, as apposed to the mouth open and snarling. He had a nice long coat of hair.

Thanks. I think he turned out pretty good. You are right you never really see a black bear snarling. I to like the relaxed look.
