What price would you expect to pay for a high quality black bear rug? Bear is 65" long with a 76" wingspan.

I'm not looking for the cheapest rug. I want somebody who is going to do a top notch job.

I got a quote for $350/ft. Seems like a lot to me, but I know the guy will do an excellent job.

Thoughts?

Also willing to accept suggestions on somebody who does excellent work.

Might be a once in a lifetime bear. I don't want it screwed up.

Thanks.
 
I checked a few local (to me) taxidermists' prices and black bear rugs are listed anywhere from $1,800 to $2,800. I imagine there are ways to make those prices go up.

Where is local to you? haha

I've found some for $900... but paying double that might be worth it.....
 
Who do you recommend? Good Results?
I using 406 Taxidermy and she was recommend to me, from someone who has taken stuff there many times. She sends them out for tanning and the rug, so its going to take 12-18 months. She also had 25 bears as of Monday.
