pesky1972 5,687 Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Good find, looks like a museum. I could spend a few happy hours in there as well as a few hard earned dollars. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,960 Posted June 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Looks like my sort of shop fourth pic down is that a cave bear? Not sure, it was on the window display so hard to get close to. I assumed it was a black bear as the claws were too short to be a brown/grizzly I thought. You might be right though. The store had a mix of extinct and modern fauna. It was called evolution. https://theevolutionstore.com 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CITES maybe?I know you have to have CITES certification to export mountain lion pelts from Canada,and the states bans importation of polar bear hides.Possibly yeah, I'm not really familiar with it. I seem to recall that after the Cecil social media storm the US GOVERNMENT banned the importation of lion trophies. Something like that anyway. Maybe the ban was on imports and exports? Ps, bass pro was amazing! Very nearly bought a bow! Lol. Decided not to impulse buy though and find something second hand.

No mate,after the cecil debacle certain airlines banned the transportation of trophys but yank hunters are still allowed to take lion skins etc back to the states with the correct paperwork. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
