Got my 2022 bear rug

[type2bowhunter]

He measured right at 6 foot, 20 5/16"
I still haven't received the tooth analysis from the state.

That looks great. Love that color. It took 3 years to get the tooth age data back for the bear in my avatar pic. They are in no hurry!

I can't imagine a California bureaucracy being slow and inefficient...

7" x 13-5/16" if I remember correctly? I had a certified fella measure it, I know I've got the skull measurement form from him sitting around somewhere. The taxidermist gave me 20 4/16" initially and then the measurer apparently found an extra 16th, score!

What did you do with them?

What did you do with them?

I cleaned them up with a dremmel and then put a matte nail polish on them. I gave a few to my buddy who helped me carry this big guy out and kept the rest for myself. Once the inevitable apocalypse hits I'll put them on a chain and wear it to assert dominance.
