Thats the other thing Sliver that makes it so frustrating! It wouldn't bother me as much if it was a smaller bear or if I knew I'd get myself another one of this size and color but the chances of that I think are pretty rare, I look at it as a once in a lifetime bear in Minnesota! Size really shouldn't matter I guess, it's wrong either way but I think most would understand what I mean by what I just said. I've kind of gotta blame myself too for playing the nice guy role on this one being he was a family friend. Never again!!! Lesson learned for Schultzy!!
