Great job Michelle, it's already been said, but I will say it again. Must have taken for ever to patch that mess. The customer should appreciate that at any price.

I was told the Bear was shot 2X.  Once in the shoulder and once in the arse.  He shot it in the shoulder and it fell out of the tree running and then he shot it in the arse because that was the only shot he had.  He was afraid it would get away.  I think he had a touch of bear fever.  Little excited.

The cuts in the arse I am pretty sure resulted from the skinning process.  I think he mis-judged where the bullet hole was and hit it with the knife.  Which can happen to anyone!

yes great job michelle I do apreciate the fine work you have done to my bear and yes it was my first bear and I have always been told that bear hides are so thick that a taxy could repair any hide and when you do get the shot dont stop till they stop moving and yes I probably did have a little bear fever yes just 2 shots where made and when you recieved the bear it was tubed out and you yourself told me at the time that I did a good job of skinning this animal I dont recall the bear looking like that when i dropped it off.But hey you did a fab. job on that bear and I love the pics and cant wait to pick it up.Next year the bear will be bigger and less holes.Thanks again for the great work.
