Bear Mount Pose Ideas for Your Cabin
Need an idea for your bear mount pose?
All-Taxidermy has many different types of bear mounts available for shoppers – or if you are a bear hunter, we can create your dream custom piece!
When you are choosing a pose for your bear, you will need to make some decisions about how it’s going to look. This includes how much of the bear you want to include, whether it will have an open mouth, whether prey will be included, a custom habitat, etc.
In this article, we’ll talk about 5 popular ways to pose your bear mount.
5 Popular Bear Mount Poses
Do you have a beautiful American black bear species you recently shot? Or are you looking for a majestic Grizzly bear species life-size taxidermy mount online? From head mounts to shoulder mounts to full body mounts, when it comes to the size of your bear trophy, it’s all about individual preference.
With that in mind, here are some popular ways hunters have posed bear mounts:
1.) Standing on Hind Legs
If you’re planning a life size bear taxidermy mount, we recommend looking into a custom habitat. For example, you can have your taxidermist pose your bear tall on a platform with a faux rock, dirt, leaves, log, or grass.
Ideas include having your bear trophy standing up on hind legs looking up, sniffing in curiosity, or growling. One arm can be outstretched in a pawing motion.
There are many options for your full-body, life size bear mount. Just chat with one of our taxidermists to get a quote! We work with Grizzly bear, black bear, and even Asiatic bear species.

2.) In Attack Pose
One of the most visually interesting way to pose your bear trophy is to have your taxidermist craft it into an attack stance.
These bear trophy displays are perfect for showing off the bear’s teeth and claws. This can include two paws and claws outstretched as a full body life-size mount, as a wall pedestal mount, or as a half body bear.
Your bear can even stand tall in its attack pose – a very intimidating sight!
There are many ways to customize your Grizzly or black bear attack trophy – these include the bear pursuing prey, attacking another large animal, confronting another bear or human, etc.
Add a custom habitat for a complete look for your attacking bear. Or get it customized as a half-body mount (pictured here). Get a quote from you local taxidermist!
3.) Bear Skull or European Mount Display
Bear skulls are a great way to show off the power of a bear’s jaw and overall skull size. These are perfect for displaying on your office desk, bookshelf, TV cabinet, cabin wall, or museum display.
Meanwhile, a European mount is a skull with the hide removed and bone bleached white, usually hung on the wall as a way of showing off the trophy.
If you’re looking for a smaller sized taxidermy piece for your cabin, man cave, living room, or office, a bear skull or European mount is a great choice for you. This is also a great option if you’ve already made the rest of your bear into a life-size mount, shoulder mount, or pelt already.

4.) 1/2 Bear with Log or Custom Habitat
Another popular option bear hunters choose is a half-body bear taxidermy trophy.
Half body Grizzly, brown, or black bear taxidermy is great for when you want to conserve on space in your taxidermy collection, or you’re looking for a more unique way to display your bear trophy.
Pictured here is beautiful Cinnamon-colored half body black bear with faux rock and tree/leaves. This specimen has been graded the Superior quality grade and is part of our Olympic Big Game Taxidermy collection, our most museum-ready taxidermy pieces!

5.) Head or Shoulder Mounts
If you want to fit many North American mammals into your taxidermy collection, we suggest opting for head or shoulder mounts. These are perfect alongside other species of bear, deer, big cat, wolves, fox, bison, elk, moose, caribou, raccoon, wolverine, etc.
Showcase a bear mount with everything from the shoulders up, or just the neck and head. No matter your choice, you can customize the pose the bear with its mouth closed, or open with a growling, aggressive expression. You can have your taxidermist turn its head slightly to the left or right to add more visual appeal.
