Just finished up doing this beautiful U.P full body buck

09/30/2026

The new potential Michigan State record handgun black bear. Had the bullet not hit the cheek bone he would have been around 22-1/8" boone and crocket. But with the broken cheek bone back half, measuring off the front half thats still attached to the skull is 21-1/2". The bear dressed out at 518.4 #!
If you were to shoot a bear this big, what pose and kind of mount would you do? We are interested in everyones ideas. Post um in the comments

With bear season upon us, here are some skinning tips for the style of mount your looking to get. When these tips are done properly, I can produce you one of the best bear mounts there is. Anyone that is looking to have me to do a bear for them should message me personally even before season starts. Have fun and enjoy this kick off to fall

Rules to LIVE BY!
1) Skin the bear as soon as humanly possible. (Dont let it set in the whole over night).
2) Keep the hide dry. Water is a breeding ground that will make your hair slip
3) Get that hide cooled right away. Lay it out in the freezer flat at least until it feels cool before wrapping it up and putting it into a bag. Even then, fold it loosely
4) Your spending lots of time and money on this bear hunting memory. Dont assume the butcher or friend knows what they are doing when it comes to skinning and preserving the hide. There literally hundreds of diagrams and YouTube videos out there now days. Study up before the hunt. (I lost a 460 # boone and crocket bear myself once by trusting the butcher. All the hair slipped right off it in the tanning because it wasnt cooled properly)
