Bear Hides???

[Camper]

I'm looking to get a couple of bear hides done into rugs (Hopefully if we shoot them)

Just wanted to know of some good places to check out for this in eastern ontario?

What kind of prices should I be looking at?

IF my memory serves me right, I think it was around $125 a foot...

Ditto!!! That's where I got my bear rug done. Excellent job!! They even did some repairs free of charge, and the damage was my own fault!!!

I also have a raccoon from them, and I am waiting on a hawk mount.

The animals in their showroom are from every corner of the planet. Cape Buffalo are huge!!! I love walking around the showroom and seeing all the different critters.


I think I paid $1100-$1200 for both the rug and having the skull done. Well worth it. Especially with what I went through to get the bear!!

Call them and ask them what you should do, as far as keeping the hide in ideal shape, so they can do their job if you shoot a bear. I've heard some horror stories!!!

I noticed you also posted this on the canadian gun nutz site, but what I want to know is where in eastern ontario are you going hunting? Closest city...?
