Rugs' Back.....
« on: May 25, 2009, 01:46:11 PM »
Hi All,

Just got my rug back from my September 2008 hunt at the Oxbow in Maine.  Here's a few picks.  Wifee hated the border, I had alot of choices....don't know what I was thinking.  Also, this is the skull...first I had done...

+1.  What kinda manly man gets his bear done with ruffles along the edge?  Just kidding.  Great bear and good for you.  How was it on the grill?

drdougrx, I have to agree with the others, but all in all nice rug. What was the measurement on the skull?

C'mon you guys...gotta git in touch with your feminine side.  ;D

Teddy...I actually didn't realize there'd be a ruffle at all.  My last rug that was ruined and I sold had a flat border.  Did a crock pot stew....deeelish!

Red...didn't measure it...looks small to me, but I will maybe tonight and I'll repost.  I'll measure both BC and SCI (I'm SCI certified and have the calipers, but have the B&C measuring guide as well).

Doug,

I like your bear. Nuff said about the ruffles.  ;)

I'm not going to be able to do a bear hunt this year, but maybe next.

It is a struggle this year to come up with the money, the wife is going with me. She wants a trip away from home. She won't be hunting, just enjoying the views up north.

Times are getting tough.

You're right about that.  I can hardly believe that she's starting to crawl.  I really can't imagine the days when guys show up on the door, or she leaves for school or any of that kind of stuff.  I really enjoy her as a baby though.
