Nice Gramps, told you that purchase exchange we had several months ago would pay off.  If you used it at all..  Anyhow very nice coloring, I am tired of Black so exicted to get to your side of the state this fall for some color phased action.  Way to go...

Thanks everyone for the kind comments!!  Had a great time.
Here are a couple more pictures.  These aren't very good pictures of the teeth and I am certainly no judge of bear teeth so someone with more experience can comment.  The premolar was just 1/2 " long (and difficult to remove)..was a little distortion in the picture.
I am gonna tan the hide, but not make a rug per se.  It won't have the head or paws.
Thanks again.

Great work on your first bear, she's a beaut. My first was a color phase too. Hope you had fun, and well wishes to your brothers wife.
