beauty trophy!

[Bushman]

That is one beautiful bear, Greg.
Do you have any idea what it weighed and squared.

[NaStY]

The bear was weighed at the taxi's shop and was 335lb so i figure it would have been around 425 with guts. The hide was squared off at 7'1".

[Bushman]

Congratulations on the trophy bear of a lifetime.
Also good to see you had the kids in on hunt.
Good huntin'.

AI hop[e you officially got the skull measured before you gave it to your taxidermist. Most taxidermists boil the crap out of the skulls to get them clean. If this was done the skull will shrink a ton.

Nope, no ears. He had so many scares on his face. Kind of wish Harley left all the damage, but what do you do....... He did one heck of a job.........

[Tikka7mm]

What a brute! Good job on the taxidermy as well.

I hear ya. Every torn piece of skin and scars, tell a story. Unless you specificly tell the taxi to 'work' it, it'll get cleaned up.


Still a nice &%^$in' rug though!

[Woodpile]

Beautiful rug. What does it cost to get a rug like that done?

[NaStY]

A bear that size is around $1400 give or take a few $100....
