Last spring I shot my largest blackbear to date, also happened to be my first handgun bear. Nice 6 footer jet black with long hair and no rubs, it was early Father's Day morning and I think my Dad 4000 miles away was more excited than I was when I called him.
Anyways, I took the hide to the tannery to have it tanned to hang on a peg in my stairwell like the rest of our bears the next day, payed my money and set in to wait just like every spring. Fast forward a few weeks and I get the call that it's done and turned out great, but....
It seems that exactly half the claws slipped and fell off in the tumbler. I got all of them back and have them stashed in an envelope and all the cuticles are still there. Can they be put back on?
