Holy crap that is cheap buddy of mine took his moose head into Gander taxidermy in Surrey and he said a 6' bear finished includes some fleshing tanning feet and head would be approx 1600.00

yer buddy got hosed bigtime, for a 6 foot bear even a dirty bear I wouldnt pay more than 700 +taxes, head mounts of moose and elk are expensive though..upwards of 1600-2000 depending , deer are usualy 400-500

Hi guys. I'm new here. My buddy made me join. He's got a picture of my buck in with his pictures. Bill's pictures I believe it's under. Anyways as of about 6 weeks ago a rug will you between 150 to 175 a foot. The fellow that I use now does fantastic work and is quit reasonable. He charges 150 a foot for bears. His deer mounts run $375.00. Hope this helps. I'm still trying to figure out how to post pics.

welcome sticksnstones!!! No one here will hold it against your buddy
The prices l am seeing seem to vary a bit and the numbers l got for doing up an elk and grizz are different too. My elk mount cost 375.00 from a fellow in Alberta ( shot it there), and my grizz was done by one of our local boys who is quit re-nowned for his work, and l think that was 140.00/ft. l remember black bear were less per/ft maybe something in the way they have to do them. Both these prices are from a couple of years ago so they may have gone up since.

back to 416 , thats about right, the cost varients between black and grizz are usually the forms they have to buy, a grizz form being much larger and costly so they get you there, deer shoulder mounts run about 400 out here and its rufly 120 a foot now for black bears unless its a huge boar and they need a grizz form then you pay more
