"Happy Bear"

Submitted by T.Baker on 05/13/2003. ( tbaker@porterville.k12.ca.us ) 207.213.74.155

A customer finally got his bear after 3 years of hunting. He is mounting it for his wife or shall I say his wife is giving the mounting instructions. She wants a novelty bear standing up holding a tray for mail and looking "happy" with a closed mouth. Any serious suggestions on how to do the happy mouth would be appreciated.

This is a first for me in 22 years of mounting. May be the last as well.

Thanx!
Tom.

Tough to be "serious"

I refuse novelty mounts of magnificent animals, and they're all magnificent. I'm sure if you try, you can envision how to modify a mannikin, but it's not my style to ridicule nature.

How bout a beer in one paw, divorce papers in the other, and a nice little blonde phase bear next to him?
