Yeah it's like a morgue over here. His skin is at the taxidermist. Normally I wouldn't do that but this one is personal and he was in excess of 425lbs. He is gonna hang over the back of my couch. Might have to get a bigger couch though. HeheI must not be the only one who keeps "specimens" in the freezer. had a whole bobcat in my chest freezer for a couple years. LOL
I had a coyote I wanted to put in a freezer. I didn't have a chest freezer, so I swung by sister and brother in-laws place, no one was home, I went ahead and put the coyote in their chest freezer. They found it before I was able to let them know. They ask me not to do that again.I must not be the only one who keeps "specimens" in the freezer. had a whole bobcat in my chest freezer for a couple years. LOL
My father did the same thing to my sis and brother-in-law, with an 8' alligator. (he didn't bother gutting or wrapping it up either. )I had a coyote I wanted to put in a freezer.

This guy is good and significantly less than most but he quoted me 1300. He tried to talk me into a full live mount as the bear has a white spot on his chest. For that he wanted 3200. I thought about it but it was a bit above my means. Also we are in a small oldass double wide with low ceilings until we can build in the next 5yrs or so and I am gonna need 10 ft ceilings to not feel closterphobic with this guy.. rug it is.I inherited a mounted head and have eaten bear but we don't see them too often here. once in a while. see tracks when it gets dry in the mountains. what does it cost to get a hide done?
