My comment wasn’t about bear hunting. I just looked st the Idaho mount and smelled freedom.

Yeah It was actually an Elk hunt, so bear was not my primary target for the hunt but I had tags for pretty much everything in my pocket, fourth year hunting, something was going down. Given the complete lack of sign of anything in the area when this bear walked thru I didn't even think twice.BlDtyLry wrote:You got it with a bow & arrow? Nice
Yeah, I wish I had thought to grab all four paws on him to use the rest of the claws on the mount. Hornets were very bad over there so I was rushing to get it done, and his hide was not worth taking so I didn't keep them all.edogg wrote:I like how the claws are holding the arrow. That’s a cool touch.

Yeah I am not biased either way, a full head mount would have been nice. This bear had a nice scar on his nose that would have been cool to have on a mount, but the fur was terrible, thin summer coat not worth doing anything with. I had wanted the arrow vertical on the left held by the claws, but once we had everything inhand it just did not look good. Putting the arrow at an angle really sets it off imo and was all Joel's idea.Jagerbomber35 wrote:That's pretty badass. I'm personally not much of a Euro mount guy, but the way that whole thing came together is amazing. You should be really proud of yourself if thats your first harvest.
