Wow. What a wonderful trophy Jim and looks like fantastic work Jerry!

Guess you're going to have to finally move out of the trailer Jim or are you going to mount him sideways...

I really thought Jerry would be taller than that and I am not sure why you would shoot him... But in regards to your bear, it is a wonderful trophy and certainly worthy of adding on to the ole trailer.

I am sure a wonderful memory and what an achievement brother.

Hope Jerry recovers soon so that he can get back to work! And seriously, stop shooting people. shame

Well that's good news for Jerry at least. So how did you kill the bear?

Looks very realistic. The bear's facial features look much more life-like than the snarling, teeth bearing mounts you normally see.

Great job and beautiful trophy.

That would be the front porch. Trailer homes don't really have "reception halls" per se... More like a general storage area where old worn out stuff accumulates, lawn mowers, washing machines, and everything else that won't fit inside. Like full mount bears.

I've seen many places of what you are describing throughout the south...but somehow I don't think JTex is a trasher.
..but if he were he still have had a good bearhunt I can only envy.

The only thing wrong with that bear is - it isn't mine. Wink

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."
