Picked up my fall bear skull and claw necklace. It will look very good on the wall next to this years spring bear.

Here is the bear "on the paw"..........

http://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,103960.msg1354132.html#msg1354132

And here is the trophy for the wall. The bear measured out at 16 and 3/8.......not to shabby for my first bear. The work was done by Michelle Nelson.

Cheers and go Hawks.

I'm glad that you like your Skull and Necklace.  I like how you have it hug up on the panel with the skull.

Thats probably a good thing.  Your friend would have probably taken blackmail photos and video.  They would be circling the internet in no time. LMAO.

So my vision was to have the spent bullet as a pendant. I don't know about the rest of you but a recovered bullet from your first bear (or deer/bison/buff/monkey/fill in the blank) is about as cool as it gets. Mine was considered lost.......but now it is as it should be.
