Mary Hilliard-KruegerI personally feel the best way to mount a small bear (on a commercial form) is on a limb and place it a bit high in your trophy room. They make smaller bear forms for that purpose.
Example:
Many beautiful small bears have been mounted in many different positions with the carcass cast method, which requires the animals carcass to make a unique, original pose.
Kind regards,
Mary

george roofMary, thanks for that photo. Somehow I've always had a dumbass block on just how to decorate or form that McKenzie log into realism. Your idea of the bark simply went right over my head. Great looking work.
