Black Bear rug open or closed mouth

[Bowhunter_24]

They take up so much room. Also my toes don’t care

I did the one I got with mouth open but not aggressively but just open because it is a reminder if I ever get out hunting again to make another good shot like on this one or what you could face if would have to track it wounded and it gives people who have never seen a bear up close a idea of how they really are. I also have the euro skull. Mine is hanging on the wall so no toes to worry about also. If I ever get to hunt them again and get one not sure how I would do the next mount. Brings back memories of a great hunt in Oregon many years ago.
