What a trophy Mike!  Have you thought about how you will display it?

Thanks everyone! Brad did an awesome job. I plan on having a full body of the bear. Should be done in 4 weeks or so. The skull will be incorporated into the rock/pedistal and will be able to be "handled".

Great bear! I wish Stickflingers wasn't booked through 2015; I would love a chance at a beauty like that. Congrats on a real brute!

Very cool. That is a brute. Always like to see St Judes pay offs. That takes some time and talent to get a skull looking that great.
