Spring bear back from taxidermist

[Rieber]

Thanks for the $ reference.Personally, I'm not a trophy hunter and if I did take an animal that was worthy of trophy status, I don't think I would have it mounted. I guess I would do a Euro mount and hang that in my garage - that's as close as my wife would accept to having taxidermy in the house. I not into spending money on the mounts - the trophy for my is the memory in my mind and the enjoyment of the meat harvested.

My kid, on the other hand, really likes taxidermy and wants a big elk over his bed, bears on the wall and even wants to have a coat made from cougar. $1800 for the bear is going to help put thing into perspective for him - lol.

I can appreciate the drive for trophy class animals and the desire to display them. I really like seeing animals with character features and I like seeing perfect specimens as well.

This bears face is pretty cool looking to me - it has a "tough" male bear look that I like. The beauty scars around the eye add to the appeal. Nice and practical display.

Nice looking rug. I might have to try that one day (if I win the lotto) I usually just hack off some hair/fur for fly tying (makes great buggy looking stonies)

Cool idea. Definitely sounds like a stack and a half but if you put 400 down the day you drop your bear off and put away 50 a week after that it will pretty much be paid for by the time it's done. Sure you could buy a lot of beer and burgers with that but I haven't second guessed this purchase once and usually dropping almost 2 grand would have me counting the other ways I could have spent it for months.

If my son had his way this guy would have been a coat as well, guess the kids are more in touch with their primal roots than us old farts. Better tell the kid to get a part time job though, ideally at a taxidermy studio lol.
