Black Bear Comp Question

I'm about to start a standing black bear for an upcoming competition, but was wondering if I should dye the belly skin. On a customer's mount I would just to make the bear appear fuller, but I'm guessing I would lose points in competition.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Abe

Simple answer

And nor being smart but if it's competition you need reference photos. They tell you all you need and don't do it black.

Thank you!

Thanks Frank. That's what I figured, but for whatever reason needed to hear it from someone else.

Best,

Abe
