Unless F&G really messed up the hide, which they usually don't, I bet it brought a nice price at the Fur Rondy auction.
Too bad you didn't get it.
One of the most impressive Grizzly hides I've ever seen came from the Squirrel River drainage. A seven foot, six year old boar taken by a dear friend just after it came out in the Spring of 1994.

Can't blame you for not wanting to feed your two year old to it!
