Thanks for all the grats. And to answer some questions I have been getting...

There is nothing on the nose itself..it just looks bright or powerdy cause of the flash (i was close up.. ;)

There is also a "snarl" added to the nose, hence the two wrinkles at the top of the nose.

I rehung it downstairs last night at an angle...the fur looks better like that...lays more natural. ;)

...I'm getting my first bear rug done this year, expecting a call from the taxy pretty soon i'm guessing. i hope it looks ok, it was a late august bear.....

Holy cow, that would be quicker than my rug....mine was way too long at 17 months... :o(yes...17 months..) Seems I was a lower priority... :dunno:
Ya i might be jumping the gun, he  said 6 months and Its the first time i've used this guy i was the  5 or 6 bear he had gotten in. He stitch's the felt on himself which he said cuts down on the turn over time. we'll see, I'll give him a call at the end of summer if i don't hear from him before.

Was it painless or did they give you a runaround?

Na, it was cool. I called the customer service line, some lady answered...wasnt sure how pleased she was when i said i killed a bear in 06 and i wanted to know the age...but she was polite (her voice seemed off though...just my opinion) and directed me to the correct number. I called, spoke to a "Mike" and he was cool. Very easy and a good experience overall.

Two seasons ago a buddy and I passed on a small bear that had the same blond coloration.  Cool bears, but it was opening day and ours was a little on the small side.

Nice rug!
