Here is the smallest posted so far...not sure they get much smaller.... 

My kids named this bear "boo boo"....

I think mine will be strong competition when it's done.

Unfortunately I wouldn't know and will have to take your word for it Ice. I have a less than 1% chance of drawing a moose tag again so I will have more time to look this year, assuming of course that I don't draw that sheep tag instead.

Hides do shrink when they are tanned.  Taxidermists usually stretch them and done right they will return to their original carcass measurments.
