Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska Blonde Brown Bear Rug or Mount?

Congrats! A bear like that deserves a life size standing mount!

I'm not sure what I would do if I ever shot one. That I could keep. LOL.

FWIW a BIG brown bear life-size is really impressive you have the room. Cost of the mount isn't an issue if you are hunting brown bears.

I think it would be nice either way. Lots of variables on your end that we can't know. Room for mount. Wife. Kids. Opinions. Etc... Basically I would do what I wanted and not let others sway. But some of the comments about tripping, Room etc...once in a lifetime and so on are good info to think about

A standing mount like the one immediately above would show off the blonde pelt better than a mount with it standing on its hind legs. Tough decision but it’s nice to have that decision to make.…😁

Get a rug made from the hide and have the skull cleaned. Those two items will be a good representation of the bear you shot.

Underrated comment. I don't have anything funny to add, but it made me laugh.

I would do a rug. Can see the whole bear that way.

Beautiful bear! I don’t know what a full mount runs but I think it would be worth it to have that big carnivore mounted in your man cave since you aren’t going to do it again.

That's only legit if the bear in question was taken while it was wearing a blue dress.

Congratulations on a successful hunt and beautiful bear. I would pick the middle option, a shoulder mount.

All this pic needs is a cigar in the bear's mouth. Look at that smile!
