Bear Rug (before & after)

Next year the bear will be bigger and less holes.

Next year? How about this year!

At least you hit your bear the other times...my first bear I shot...dropped...thing started thrashing around and I busted out two more shots with my A bolt...only I busted up the dirt just in front of her with the shots....needless to say...she only needed the 1 shot.

I have always been told that bear hides are so thick that a taxy could repair any hide

Just because a hide is thick doesn't mean the taxi can repair it.  Missing skin is missing skin reguardless.

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.

Your not the only one that still gets the fever on a hunt.  Stuff happens.  The Bear may have moved when you took the shot who knows.

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.

   Yes, you are right the bear was tubed out when I received it.  Cut from one back foot to the other and up the belly just above the genitals.  I cut it from that point up to the chin.  Than from the pad of one front leg across the chest (through 2 additional holes that were on the chest made from the first shot that grazed the chest) to the other pad on the oposite foot.    I did tell you, you did a good job skinning it because you tubed it.  Leaving it up to me to make the additional incisions.  Allowing me to compensate for the two holes in the chest. 

I told you when you brought me the bear it was in rough shape.  That I would do my best to make the repairs.

Well the first shot went through both sholders and yes it did tear the heck out of that bear no he didnt move on the first shot pour thing was in a tree at about 20 yards.7 mag really did its job and yes you are the s!@# for repairing it there are no arguments here I new that little toilet seat cover was tore up and you told me you werent garanteing me anything and i said that was fine i was just excided that i finnally got one of those little buggers.thank you again for the great work and i cant wait to put the little feller on my toilet.you really maid it look like it was a average size bear by the photos and come on dont lie it was tiny,and tes this not next yaer i stand corrected.and THANK YOU AGAIN, caps just incase you didnt hear me.. 

[Michelle_Nelson]

Actually the bear measures 4 foot, nose to base of tail.  Way to big for a toilet seat cover. 

Like I said, the bear refused to die on the first shot and the only one you had was the rear.  I'd rather put another pullet in it than let it get away and die slower.

[big fatt]

Yes I have herd to many stories from guys who shoot those tough kritters and never see them again and I mean to tell you that was not going to be me,the first time I get to shoot at a bear I by god am gettin my yogi 20 yards 7 mag you could drive a truck through the holes and again you did an outstanding job and i cant thank you enough except send every one i know to you so that my friend is what I intend on doing thank you again

[Michelle_Nelson]

You are more than Welcome.  I am glad you like it.  As soon as I get the skull sealed I will give you a call and you can come get both of them.  Just so you know.  I did not charge you for the repairs on this bear and I helped you out in some other areas.
