My 2017 bear w/ taxidermy
 

Well this year elk hunting I ended up having this really old bear come walking through a swamp towards the pasture of cows and decided to pull the trigger. Really like how old it is and the silver grey hairs throughout its body. Rough measured a bit over 18" Taxi work was done by Solitude Taxidermy and I couldn't be happier with my product and experience. Really great people.

Here's a few photos!

Nice rug, memories made in the field.

Looks good, nice rug. Solitudes turn around time is second to none.

Yessir! Fast turn around, in house tanning. Quality still exceptional. Dropped off September 27ish and picked up December 13.

Looks great ..Congrats

great looking bear really like the colour of the face

That rug looks fantastic! Congrats

one of the best rugs I've seen!! quality workmanship and great bear.

Nice bear man. What did it tape out to? My rug should be done tapped out bigger then i thought it would at 7’1

Honestly didn't tape it or ask, shot it dropped it off and saw it for an hour last night. But for perspective this in a short box Dodge. Just shy of 6?

Did you send a tooth into F&W for aging?
