I got to do 9 bears this year this was the biggest one.

Thanks

Awesome! Love the detail on the head and face, very nice looking work. Do you know what this bear weighed? What does a rug mount with the mouth open like that cost?

the bear was about 400 pounds give or take 25. I charge 160.00 a foot, double felted, double padded, all sewn no glueing. I do not know what the taxidermists in New York charge. I would want to say around 140.00 a foot. Thanks for the comments.
