Thanks everyone! Brad did an awesome job. I plan on having a full body of the bear. Should be done in 4 weeks or so. The skull will be incorporated into the rock/pedistal and will be able to be "handled".

Great bear! I wish Stickflingers wasn't booked through 2015; I would love a chance at a beauty like that. Congrats on a real brute!

Gosh, that is a heck of a bear! Mine just got delivered to the taxidermist...I need to see pictures of your mount Mike.

As soon as I get it back I will post up some pics Steve. I have my wife living in an 800 foot apartment in the barn while our house is being built. When she finds out she gets to share that space with "Chocolate" AND our 2 kids she is gonna love me fo' real

Hah! I'd tell the taxidermist to take his time!

Very cool. That is a brute. Always like to see St Judes pay offs. That takes some time and talent to get a skull looking that great.
