2015 Bear

[amboy49]

The black bear I bow killed in Ontario in 2015. Just got it back from the taxidermist. Hoosier Trapper Supply did the work. Great job. My wife actually suggested a full body mount but I thought it would overpower our family room. I plan to build an octagonal pedestal base for it.

Very nice! How big was the bear?

I don't think I've ever seen a head mount of a bear like that before, looks really good. Why did it take three years to get it back?

The bear weighed 300#.

I initially left the bear with a taxidermist (I won’t name) who did nothing for 18 months. I finally got the hide back and then took it to Hoosier Trapper. They did an excellent job - turnaround time for them was 15 months.

Gotcha. I thought maybe there was some difficulty getting it across the border or something. Congrats, it looks great!

Nice bear!

1. Was he delicious?
2. Did you use any of the fat for baking, e.g. pie crust?

Very nice. I like the white fur on the face. I know it's not uncommon, but still not as common as the solid black.

I like that mount. That looks great.
