If there's been no previous call from other sources on them, or you haven't got any plans for them, I'd really love to have a skull and some claws if you'd be willing to part with them, and I'd be willing to fully pay any and all associated costs, of course. I'll check with the USPS and Canadian Post for shipping restrictions, but I think it should be legal.

On a side note,  Nwmanitou, did you ever get to demonstrate your overhand technique to Shannon Hale, the author?

Would be quite an ego buzz to get your technique used in a book....with maybe a footnote somewhere!

Peace,

Naw, I've never been able to meet up with her. Life has been rather busy as of late. Though if she's still around, I'm sure we could work something out.

I know a guy who works for the conservation authority and I will ask him what would be legal. Keep in mind I don't intend to go out of my way to shoot a bear. But if they start with the fruit trees and hives like before I may well have to.

One day when I have more time (it ends up being a long story) remind me to share the time when the armed conservation officers payed us a visit at 6 in the morning re: bear hides...

While legal, I suspect that it will end up being *quite* expensive and inconvenient to get skins across the border...

I got the impression that as long as I'm not profiting from the sale of any bear stuff I'll be OK. I don't want to profit from it so that is fine with me. All I want is to be reimbursed for shipping it somewhere.

No sweat. I'm pro-hunting but it really pisses me off when stuff goes to waste. I sometimes meet these city hunters who get all suited up like they think they are commando's and then shoot everything they see for the sport alone. It is kinda sad actually.

I know what you mean, Mike. I'm also pro hunting, but only when you can use the whole animal, and aren't just killing for the fun of it. I hate seeing all the stuff going to waste, because every part of every animal is a gift to us from the Creator. The bones and skins we use, the meat we eat, and the entrails can go to the Earth and other animals that we may use their gifts later.

That almost funny Doug I have never know a bear fur go to waste there always ten people who want it. not menyion if it is prime they command a pretty good price on the fur market
one prob we have here is a early bear season in augst
then the fur is useless but the hide is awsome really thick

I also am pro-hunting.  However, I think it is only good if it is necessary, ie, to feed one's family, or protect the neighbourhood from big animals (none here.)  In really early Chinese history, ie, the Shang and early Zhou dynasties, there was a clan set-up to "shoot scary-sounding birds, should they enter the state."  That's what I call necessary.
  Fox-hunting, from horseback, is something I cannot condone.  For one thing, the hunters tend to be complete pillocks.
