Nice....curious: now that you got it what do you do with it? I am not a hunter. I assume bear meat is good and you also get a nice bear skin rug?
Was it raiding your bird feeder in the backyard?  |
 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

You are a beast kid. Nice work.

Where did you get it? Every year I say I want to do a bear hunt but it never seems to happen. Cost is most likely the biggest factor. Its not bad if you have a place of your own, but if you go on a guided hunt they get pricey.

I claimed dibs on the tail fur, It will make a phenominal merkin. |

It will make a fine merkin indeed my friend. What a great addition it will make to your vast and impressive
collection.
You have set the bar even higher than I thought possible

It was harvested up in the Great North Woods of Maine. It wasn't pricey due to the fact that a friend owns land and a few sites so it was cheap. I didn't have a guide so that brings down the price even more. |

It will be a fine addition to an already very stout collection of rare merkins. |

Phil thinking of a full body mount or rug. Not sure yet. The animal was pretty good size so a mount would take up a lot of space. Leaning towards a rug.
I dont like bear meat but my buddy took it all so it wont go to waste. |
