Bear rug--open or closed mouth

Just do a European and use the hide for his and her pajamas.

If you shot him charging, open. If not, closed looks better IMO.

He was basking in the sunshine snacking on fresh grass in a beautiful meadow without a care in the world.

For me, I like my taxidermy to look authentic and 100% natural. I also like to choose postures my animal had during the hunt. Closed Mouth gets my vote.

Closed, but 1/2 life size would look great with that bear.

Definitely mouth open, up on hind 2 feet and claws overhead!

Personal choice. I did closed on both of mine. If I get a griz, I'll probably go with open.
