Wow, beautiful work Michelle!  Looks like someone skinned their bear "all by themselves" as my kids would say...  I'll be that drives you guys nuts...
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

  Thanks for the comments guys!

If I had to guess it was either skinned by someone that just happened to run across a Bear and had never skinned one before.  Maybe a friend was trying to tell him over the phone haw to skin it.

Yeah some times it drives us taxi's nuts to see this kinda stuff.  Especially when it is a repeat thing from the same person you have told a dozen times how to do it and they still do it wrong.  I think it bites the customer more, especially after they get the extra tack on the bill for it.  I probably put 5 - 6 full hours into piecing that thing back together.

I'd call that a big save. That's why I got you working on my rug. So I can expect miracles  :chuckle: Stretch it out to 7 foot.

She could always charge you for 7 ft. and let it go at that????   :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

I could always change the price for you Ray.  Instead of by the foot we could make it by the inch.  :)

I'm sure at least two of you would have had a heart attack getting that 4ft bear out of there.  :chuckle:
