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.

Way to go... Awesome looking bear!

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.
Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.
