Will I regret doing my polar bear (9.6") a rug instead of a lifesize...I just dont have the room, but just thinking of making it a carpet makes me wondering if im doing the right choice. | ||

Anton, I regret doing my Brown Bear as a rug. He actually takes up more room than he would have as a full body mount. Do the mount my friend.

I would do a wall mounted rug and save some money. | |||

Polar bear should be life sized. Just to cool. You will find room. GOA Life Member NRA Benefactor Member Life Member Dallas Safari Club Westley Richards 450 NE 3 1/4" | |||

As Frostbit said, the rug will take up more space, on wall or floor. You may never get a chance at another one, life size all the way. Paul B | |||

To me it depends on what you have for a trophy room/display area. Something about a bear rug on the floor in front of a fire with snow outside speaks of comfort. That's what my bear rug does, and it goes up into storage after winter. However, if you are doing a formal trophy room, the rugs just don't seem to fit in to me. Probably my sense of decor (which is questionable) more than anything else. | |||

Rugs are fine for the more common bears, but your Polar Bear demands a full mount. It sounds like it's time to consult a architect for a room addition. All We Know Is All We Are | |||

Anton, I like my rugs a lot but they do take up a huge amount of room. I put most all of mine on the wall but once again you need a big wall. Take some careful measurements if you mount life size as I've known of a couple of people that can't get their life size bears through the doors in their houses. Mark MARK H.

Agree with Mark; sort this out completely before you decide. To me, either is a right choice...it's a Polar Bear!
