yeah he was cool with the jet black hair, dark muzzle and the little white patch on the chest. I've got a rug from another bear i shot in the early 90's out of Colville that was 6'7" from nose to tail, jet black and he had a white "chevron" on the chest. wanted to get a shoulder mount done on one...he had a really nice pelt on him...this was one of three bears i've shot in the Copalis unit the last two years and the other two didn't have the white patch on their chest....they were all black but he was the smallest but had the best coat...looks good on the wall
