Look at the hide how it is kinda faded in color plus not that thick yet .Here is a picture of one of my bears and this is why I like September & october bear hunting ...just as shiney as all get out ....Plus they put on a few more pounds by then too!

I've got 5 or 6 Rugs in with those same markings.  Though none of them have that much gold going down the back.  Those are great looking markings on that Bear.

a lot like Killbilly's from a few years back, had a gold stripe on it.  Also a Skagit bear.
