tygersmanVery, very nice.
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.

Blair 338RUMWhat calibre and load did you shoot Jerry the bear with Jim?
You guys are a mess......but I love you both any way!
7mm Rem Mag and one of those Berger 168grain Vlds that won't kill anything.
.
Well that's good news for Jerry at least. So how did you kill the bear?

BuffHunter63Looks 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.

Hunting buff is better than sex!
He has that bewildered "Why do you keep shooting me" look on his face...

jens poulsenThanks for sharing. It will look good in your reception hall.

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.

It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......
