Record Class Interior Grizzly Bear full body mount
This type of Bear used his long claws to dig for roots and scratch open dry rotten trees for grubs. He dug the ground for Ground Squirrels and hunted hard for what he could catch. The larger Coastal Brown Bears are common to this type lazy beach combers and fish eaters. The interior Grizzly, though a little smaller is a hard worker. This one came of Alaska and has a Top Notch coat of hair and beautiful long claws. He squared just a hair over 8-1/2 feet and he is a Boone and Crockett Record. The taxidermy is excellent and the mount is clean, smoke free, and in mint condition. This is about as good a Grizzly Bear as will ever find. The mount is 7 foot 6 inches high from the ground to the top of his head. The loss of height is due to flat feet , bend of the knees, curvature of the back, and nose bent down to ground level. Example; A 10 foot Polar Bear will stand on its hind legs 8 to 8 1/2 feet at ground level. This mount will look fantastic in any home, office, lake house, lodge homes, cabin, clubhouse, etc.
