Another option to the rug is a half mount that did not cost me substantially more and used much less wall space. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa437/boxhead61/EdImport16Sept598.jpg)

The funny thing about all these bear rugs, mine included, is that they look like "Rocky the Flying Bear" ! A set of goggles would complete the look... I was thinking the same. Perhaps a cape would be a good prop. All great looking rugs and good pics especially those who threw in the rifle that took them. Do share what you shot them with. Ingwe; you need more wall space. You've shot entirely too much game for one man.
Keep your powder dry and stay frosty my friends.

You guys that have em on the wall- nail them or do it some other way? Thanks for the great pics. Those are nice! I hang mine off the wall, using a staple gun. Like you would use to hang a target. I always use double back felt, shoot the staple between the felt. It hides, easy on the wall and mount. I think, I use 3/8" staples.

On the floor in front of the gas fired, fake fireplace! ya! GWB Nice bear GW Before I hung one of my last bears, it was on the floor for a while. When my daughters friends would come over, they all wanted to lay on it. It was like a magnet. Collage girls need to feel that bear.

So far, mine is still on the bear.

Holy throwback. I started this thread back in 2013. Since I posted this, between me and my 2 kids we have killed 8 bears.

I have a black bear that is 6'6" from nose to tail. I hung it nose to the ceiling. One night , my house burned half to the ground. The nose burned off and I found it in the insulation on the ground. So, it's still there and I glued the nose back on with some glue. Insurance gave me $3,600 for it but I kept it. Noone would want to buy it so it is kind of worthless . The hair is singed too but it is one of my prized possessions.
But the fruits of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,faithfulness, Gentleness and self control. Against such things there is no law. Galations 5: 22&23

I just hung my black bear from 2 seasons ago. Had a hard time finding a wall to put it on. It measured 8'x8' with a 24" skull. I did the upholstery tack method and my taxidermist sewed a d ring under the mouth so it would hold the head and used about 75 thumbtacks around the felt in the sheet rock. Looks good so far.
