ST. PAUL, Minn., Feb. 9 Federal prosecutors in Minnesota are trying to decide on the future of Cubby, a black bear killed illegally by country singer Troy Gentry.Gentry apparently planned to display the 600-pound mounted bear at his estate in Nashville, Tenn., the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported. Instead, Gentry admitted in November he shot Cubby, who was raised in captivity, in a fenced enclosure and then tried to claim the bear was a wild one killed during a legal bow hunt.Lee Marvin Greenly, owner of the 80-acre Minnesota Wildlife Connection near Sandstone, Minn., and arranger of Gentry's hunt, has pleaded guilty to unrelated felonies.The government is considering donating Cubby to a museum. But Edwin Durushia, a taxidermist and hunter in Coon Rapids, said the bear should become part of the state Department of Natural Resources Wall of Shame.He looks like an idiot in the hunting world to real hunters, Durushia said of Gentry. That guy could afford to go anywhere in the world and have the best black bear hunt in the world.Copyright 2007 by UPI
