2017 ID Black Bear back from Taxidermist

Postby lamrith » 04 21, 2018 •  [Post 1]

Huge shout out and thanks to Joel @ BlackRiver Taxidermy.

This was my 1st game animal and the hide was not worthy of a full rug or shoulder mount so I decided I wanted a Euro. Based on Joel's willingness to share info on how to do a Euro Mount with everyone here I knew it was not something I wanted to undertake I contacted him to do mine.

While he was doing the hard work I asked around and obtained a wood cutout of Idaho to put the mount on, but could not find a good fixture to use to hold the skull.

Got the call from Joel that the Euro was ready, so took what I had down to him and we spent a while looking at options. He came up with the idea as it ended up. Realyl happy with it, just need to find a good place to hang it now!

HUGE THANKS TO:
Joel @ BlackRiver Taxidermy

Wapititalk1 for taking a flatfoot out Elk hunting and dragging me around the mtns to learn a little bit about Elk hunting and get my 1st game animal down.

The mount came out great Larry; very unique! You guys should ask old Lamrith to post up the VID of the shot he made on that critter. Cool, calm, and collect he was.....and an exceptional shot to knock down his first big game harvest.

It was actually given to me. I put out a request for a good source and a member of another board had one sitting.

That said there are a few I have found.

Per request from our Illustrious leader here is the video of the end of the hunt.

Nice Larry. The last time I saw that bear head, it was not looking very pretty.

Thanks Swede.
He was a beat up boar for sure. He has a crease in cranium on his left Side. Taxi says it looks like he may have been shot at some point prior to making the mistake of crossing my path.
