I always knew what bears did in the woods, I just pictured it a little different. Thanks for educating me as to their real technique. Great carving, I got a good chuckle from it

Outstanding carving Forrest! Excellent proportion! Great detail! Fantastic paint job! In fact the only thing that's missing is a working "john!" .... Whoops! That's not the Bear's name is it???

I'm still chuckling Forrest! Another one of your great little carvings although, I still can't believe it's sooooo large (for you, that is...)! Ha! It's good to see that you're feeling well enough to carve and keep us laughing with your carvings and little stories - all those prayers from your many wood carving friends and family must be working! Safe carving and good health to you my friend!
Kenn

Hey Forrest I just found the bear. One thing I can tell you is that our bears up here are toilet trained like yours. They are rather rude and dump berries anywhere. Great carving, love it.
