I had to post these pictures. 

Friends shot a cub, and my inteligent Friend Dedee skinned  and tanned this bear.  It is so BEAUTIFUL and Soft. I can understand why she would pat herself on the back. 

I ate bear meat for the first time tonite. Felt weird thinking i was gonna eat a bear, the taste was not much different then other beef. Good meatballs DD. I can say I've eaten bear!
