    Finally! Big Bear down!

    I'll post a report later. Biggest one I've gotten by far. Good story.

    My butcher doesn't do sausages. Who from Kamloops to Vancouver will do sausages? I've already got a lot of meat in the freezer and would love to do some as sausages/pepperoni this time.

    And is Weins the guy everyone recommends for a rug?

    Nice chocolate bear!

    Ray Weins has done great work for me in the past. I have a hide with him now that is being tanned.

    As for butchers, Iron Custom Butcher has been getting a lot of social media attention from the B.C. hunting YouTubers, so they must be good. I haven’t personally used their services, but I would do so if I didn’t feel like butchering my own.

    I talked to the iron butcher guy a couple years ago. I'll give them a call. Gary's in Kamloops will do it too - I called them

    Nice colour! Well done.
    Everyone is entitled to voicing an opinion, as long as it is a learned one.

    The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who are bereft of that gift.

    Contact lower Nicola meats.
    good price great sausage you just have to debone yourself and bring it in bags or containers.

    if you need a local butcher as well PM me.

    Ive got all my bear sausage/smokies/kielbasa etc done at Lower Nicola meats for 7 years now. Never a complaint and always the first meat eaten in the house.

    as for taxidermy, Ray Wiens is located right by lower Nicola meats so you can kill two birds with one stone. You won’t find a better taxidermist.

    you could just get it ground and spice it later perhaps? or get it spiced and ground but bagged instead of in links...some butchers wont stuff them cuz it takes too much time but will spice and bag it like burger meat
