Bear Hug

“Our father was an avid sportsman. Every summer he would travel deep into Canada with a group of guys to hunt and fish. In 1989 he brought home this black bear and had it turned into a rug.  My brother and I were thrown on it for the first classic picture.  My father passed away four years later and the rug (along with his other animal mounts) still grace our log cabin living room. I decided to recapture the moment as adults and we gave it to our mother as a Christmas gift. She, along with the rest of the family, got a kick out of it. Some people have asked if we are wearing clothes in the adult picture..we are close as brothers but not that close!”
