[justdada]

Congrats Buzz! Those color phase bears are great! You should be proud of that one, it will make a beautiful rug!

 

[MNHunter]

Wow! That is some nice color! Way to go Buzz

 

[stab]

Buzz who are trying to kid? That bear is already tanned!

 

[BuzzH]

Stab,

You dont know your ass from hot rocks...let alone what a tanned bear hide looks like.

 

[T Bone]

Congrats Buzz.

Spot and stalk! Can't wait to see field photos.

 

[stab]

I have killed 11 black bears, some tanned,some rugged some sold that bear is tanned. Lets hear from the masses. Clues what to look for later.

 

[BuzzH]

Hey stab,

You dont have a clue...grasping dude...grasping.

 

[mtmiller]

Nice bear Buzz, looking forward to the field shots

stab, you can call Buzz on a few things, but critter collecting ain't one of them...I hope you call Buzz on this and then respond with facts

 

[BuzzH]

Miller,

I tell you what...packing in that tanned hide was a real pain-in-the-ass for the field photos...even rained on the tanned hide!

Next time I'll pick a sunny day for the photos of my tanned bear.

I also wont be wasting a long-distance call to Greenhorn asking about areas to find bears just to take pictures of a tanned hide either. May not even drive 5-6 hours for those photos either...hell...wont even bother with buying a bear tag...save $37 on that alone.

 

[stab]

Drove 5-6 hours for a 5 footer??????????????

Clue #1= No Blood

 

[mtmiller]

Sorry Buzz, I even fugged up the double negative. I meant "not critter collecting..." Man that is twice today, I could fugg up a wet dream. Seriously, looking forward the the field shots. Now to find my protractor and draw a 5 hour circle from Laramie.

 

[schmalts]

great job! thats a lot of bears you saw.

 

[Cathunt MT]

As much as I like Buzz, You are wrong stab if that is tanned it is a shitty tan you can see the salt on the feet and the mouth. Good bear Buzz

 

[Big Sky]

S.T.A.B. (Stupid Troll Annoying BuzzH)

Regardless of the accusations, BuzzH that is one awesome colored bear. I'm envious as can be!

 

[DRAFTSTUD]

Very nice Bear, Is that a kit you buy...sorta like Grand Slam Blow Ups! WTF! Good Going Buzz. John

 

[shoots-straight]

I have to admit, my first impression was that the bear was already tanned.
I was going to keep my mouth shut until sombody chimmed in first.

The way the hide hangs in the garage looks like it's either got support or tanned. Green hide hanging usually hangs like a wet towel. Also the edges are'nt curled as would happen after salting, unless it was really worked in good. Lips usually look red even after salting cause it doesn't get worked in real well.Just struck me as being tanned.

Could just be a really good job of salting. Will wait for the kill photo's hopfully they will have a date on the pic's.

 

[BuzzH]

I'd say theres a couple people who need to work at a taxidermy shop for a while or learn how the hell to recognize a salted hide.

For Christ sake, a salted hide will dry out like a tater-chip to the point you can barely fold them.

 

[noharleyyet]

The only thing bogus about Buzz is his political ideology ...his hunting creds are top notch all the way.

 

[stab]

Clue #2=The pic of the bear hanging in the garage, see the inside hide down by the leg, that is tanned leather not freshly skinned

 

[BuzzH]

stab,

Let us all know when you really do find a clue...

What you're looking at is a bear hide thats been properly skinned, fleshed, and salted.

If you think thats tanned leather...its obvious you've never been anywhere near a bag of solar mixing salt and properly prepared hides/capes.
