Bear rugs with holes in each armpit?

I recently saw a video about hunting in Romania. In the video the hunters toured a hunting museum that had a bunch a bear rugs. Each bear had 4 dinner plate size round holes in the hide, one at each armpit(legpit?).

I am wondering what the reason would be for the holes. I was hoping that one of you might enlighten me.

Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt.

Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry
Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure.

Stab in the dark. Wink Hair is very usually sparse in those areas, Someone might just have trimmed it away.

something "traditional" in romanian bear rug. They put these rosettes to cover the zone with bad hair. Being ultra stretched to maximize size -these bears in museums are the CIC world records (i mean... number 1-2-3-4-5-6...) shoot by Ceausescu so maximize size was a must...- the armpit hairs are more sparse than natural
