Looking for ideas for a life size black bear mount,in or on a tree?? Any suggestions

As I write this I have a couple 'flying bears' (bear rugs) on the walls of my man cave.

Don't have any full-size mounts. Don't know what advice I can give you. Depends on the depth of your check book.

Eventually I'm going to strip my various rugs of their front claws and make two claw necklaces for my sons to pass on to them and/or their kids (my grandkids).

This is my BC bear mount. Not in or on a tree, just near one.

Tony,

These aren't great pics, just some I had on my computer. Sometimes I dress him up at Christmas.

This is not my bear just one I saw on the internet and really liked.

These are all great mounts esp. the one with the fish. Does anyone know of a source to see any more of these, possible other web sites???

This is my bear I picked up from the taxidermitst last week. (I hope the photo posts correctly)

Nice mounts Brian and Mary.

I did a bear hunt in AK in May of 07 my buddy and I both took nice bears. I did a simple rug and my buddy did a full mount.

Thanx to everyone who posted these pics everyone is beautiful in their own right, I have two huge bee hives that I have collected in anticipation of doing this mount. My son harvested a very nice bear last year and I was lucky enough enough to get one this season and we would like to mount them together somehow incorporating the two bee hives. If we can get one off the ground in a tree, it won't take up as much floor space. Just searching for some options!!!
