Well, I got a new job a couple of months ago and have been really busy. With pronghorn season next weekend and elk/deer for CO 2nd season I am anticipating woods time greatly. To go along with that I got a call a couple of weeks ago that my bear was done. Last weekend I took the drive up to Steamboat to get him. I am really pleased with him and love the color once he dried out. He squared at 6"1' and the bed he is on is a queen. I'll get the skull measured once I bleach it.

That's nice! Do you plan on hanging it on a wall or what?

I'm going to Alaska this spring, and still don't know for sure what I'll do with the hide if I get one. I don't have enough wall space for a rug, I may end up just having it tanned and do a rug or a mount later on if I get more space.

I would be difficult to find enough room on a wall. It will probably stay where it is until someone needs a bed for a bit and then I will have to come up with something. Not a bad problem to have.

I think rugs look great on a wall, plus they stay in better shape.
