Very nice!Good colours,right down to his snout.Was that a spring bear or fall?I like the white border on the matt,really makes the hide stand out.

it was a spring bear. not a single rub on it. He said its one of the nicest hides hes seen in his 20 plus years of taxidermy.

Curtis is a hell of a guitar player and singer! Got to get back up your way to run the kittys and the nightly fun!

Nice bear rug. Where is your taxidermist?

Very nice bear rug. For a suggestion make sure you put the bear rug in an area that you dont walk to much. Or in the night youll forget it is there and youll smoke your foot in the mouth or the head.

$650 is a good price! I was looking around for having my first bear made into a rug but couldnt find any in that price range! Good to know, Thanks
